You should stop by San Antonio Raceway sometime. We have more Pintos than any other drag strip in the country. (  78 2.3 wagon, 72 302 steet legal, 73 302 racer, 72 351W racer, 72 460 racer).

Talked with the Manager of PST and he stated that they have front end suspension kits that cover Pintos (all Years). so if you are looking for suspension parts contact them..

I have used P.S.T. before and have been happy enough to use them again on the wagon. I went with a polygraghite front end rebuild kit for $229.00 . I also got the steering shaft to rack coupler. It came straight from Kanter.  The Rack Im putting in already has bushings so I dont need those. I still need to get the coil spring rubber isolater.
Ive been looking around for affordable rear leaf springs and think Ill be going with a pair from JCwhitney. They have them for $59.99 each. Cheaper than E-Bay!
I ordered the coil springs online from Autozone and they came from partsamerica.com. They cost $49.99 and are Moog parts. Turbopintodude turned me on to those.

Check out Rod&Custom or Street Rodder magazine as they have several outfits that advertise coil-over type replacement tubular lower control arms. They are designed for street rods, but may work for your needs.
