I will live with the S*** Storm. Get the cheapest you can get. moog is the same as any other, just a different box. Federal-Mogul brands same thing.

Don't bother, I have a fine umbrella.

i personally have used moog for the tie rod ends and for the sway bar links, they are noticable heaftier than stock and have grease fittings so you can keep them nice. I used gm sway bar bushings because I could not get an answer at the time on the proper size when I replaced mine. its up to you and your budget, but I do prefer non gm parts beacause at least on my HHR they have failed faster. as far on ls/lt or ss parts, a lot of parts are the same but check the fitment on the website you order the parts from.

i am not sure about the control arms, raybestos makes a good product for the control arms and I think moog might make the bushings but I am not sure. Like I said when I swapped mine out I had a hard time finding out the correct dimensions for the bushings so I went with the gm part at my local chevy dealer and they were like 15 bucks for the both of them. try rockauto.com for the parts they have a lot of parts and there prices are good but watch for there shipping prices

Welcome to the site jalex. Go to the Introductions thread and start a post up there.
