Any recommendations on pst or firm feel? It will be street driven Falken tires and maybe a track trip or two on occasion. Which has the best track record or are there others? I'll buy good updated parts for it.
Thanks.

I have a Firm Feel unit (stage 2, with a sector support) in my 74 Challenger with a 360- I am very pleased with the steering feel.
(Note: I also added additional support welds and gussets to the K frame along with urethane bushings when I rebuilt the front suspension).
I would recommend Firm Feel - I have been dealing with them off and on for a couple different projects over the years and they have always helpful and very knowledgable about Mopar suspensions...

Steer & Gear is another good option if you want a better steering box .
Borgeson is also a great option

The best change would be a Borgeson. I had a firm feel box and I put a Borgeson in and it makes a tremendous difference. Also so much lighter and it's brand new.

I have a Borgeson on my 72 Challenger and like it. Only mod I did was to install the shim kit to reduce the boost. I like a little more "road feel".

I used Firm Feel also, dealing with them has been easy. Car is going back together now so I can't comment on the performance yet. Firm Feel is more "Mopar-centric" than PST, although I did use PST on a past project for a disc brake upgrade.

Thank you. Feedback like this is very helpful and useful. Looks like I can get PST cheaper from them direct vs other sellers. I checked eBay as well. I'm a bargain shopper and try to relinquish as little of my cash as possible in purchasing.

While you are working on the area I would do the steering sector support and the Idler arm up grade. I believe it has to be a Moog idler arm.

I am running a Firm Feel stage 3 on my 71 Challenger, got rid of all the sloppiness and I can still turn it easily with one hand. Graveyard Cars has Firm Feel rebuild all of their steering boxes to Stage 2 specs.

Good answers on here and I'm very grateful for them.

Next thing is something I thought about, does anyone make a replacement center drag link and maybe where I can get one. It seems be a non service item and I have searched and found no new ones all day. I figured since I am replacing about everything else I would look to snag one of these as well.
