: J.C. Whitney has the best deal on rear springs...They also have sway-bars; The bar has to be for a Maverick/Comet..others will NOT interchange. ..7/8" was a rare option fot these cars. Not sure on the drums, but again your best bet is a Maverick donor car...$90 is EXPENSIVE for a drum...you could get TWO rotors for that price. Of course you'd need calipers & spindles as well, but a swap to disc brakes would be ideal...
: : what car can i get a 74 comet front drum from? one of mine is bad, new they are $90 and i'm trying to avoid that.
: : also, the sway bar, can i get one from another car that will work without modification? it currently has the thin (3/4?) one. i guess i would be loking for a 7/8". it's a 250 engine by the way.
: : one last thing, the rear leaf springs are really sagging, what's the best deal for replacing these? i'm a student so limited budget.
