I'd agree with you but I've had some problems in the past with Moog. I've heard very good things about Napa/Spicer/Raybestos brand that I had at one time. I bought that brand ball joint to replace the factory ones on the pink car, but the ones I had ready for the N-body stuff were Moog... so I ended up going back. I've also heard a few others say that Moog is made by TRW... where Raybestos and Napa are made by Spicer.

Either way I look at it there is a stamp right on my tie rods that say MADE IN USA so I'm happy about that and it may convince me to drop another $100 just to have the ball joints done and with the same parts. I had a loose front end before but I think most of it came from my inner tie rod delrin bushings... they were just a bit loose in comparison to what I have in there now.

Everyone has their own opinion and experiences... I used to use Moog all the time because thats what my uncle sold so I got a good price on it, but I was never really happy with those parts on that car, so it's time for me to try something different just to see if it's a quirk with this car, or the parts that are causing the issues.

Yeah i have ball joints from Napa on my setup. For the brake lines im using lines for my car (90). What funny is they are 1 inch longer than the GA lines and they bolted up just fine, no leaks. Since the GA brakes mounted in the same location as my stock brakes did, there was no need to change the lines and get crazy like that.

I didn't get crazy, I just changed to stainless braided lines and originally with the F-body stuff you need a longer line. With the N-body it's probably not necessary but since I have the steel braided ones in there I'm keeping it that way. Plus all I did was buy two bubble flare to AN adapters and two AN to banjo lines. I didn't have to cut any line on my car anywhere, not even the rears.
