I have been using Mevotech parts on a few cars lately and have been satisfied with the quality. I believe Beck A. tends to be the best of the bunch, whereas doorman tends to be the worst.

Just be careful ordering the pats and double check with the manufacturer to make sure the part you are ordering is correct for your application.

check on mevotech's site for the correct part number for your sedan, it's there.

I am a big fan of keeping it OEM.

If I had to choose: beck

Dorman- no even on 15 yr old beater.

So I must be an idiot because I cant seem to find the part number on the mevotech website. I need #15 in the suspension diagram. Last night I was looking on ebay and I noticed that the same part for the coupe had the same number stamped on it as did some of the listings for the sedan. Is there anything to this?

The 2nd picture is of the compression rods for a coupe. I saw the same numbers stamped on some of the sedan listings but they are 3 times the amount (OEM only)

It seems impossible to find an aftermarket compression rod for the sedan.

My friend had the same problem, ended up getting the "coupe" arms off of rock auto and they fit his sedan.
