I just recently bought an IFS crossmember from CPP. It came with boxing plates, upper hats, and lower crossmember. I measured with a caliper, it's 3/16 steel. So, it's fairly stout. My only complaint is that it's the narrower crossmember with the pivot points 22 1/4" apart. For $210, I don't think you can argue about that.

I picked up some control arms from Jegs. They claim to be 9 gauge steel. Again quality looks good. Only complaint, it needs a better lower ball joint. It was a Christmas time deal so, they were right around $300 all together with free shipping.

I haven't gotten to install anything yet, but money wise, I think I'm doing pretty good. I know there is a tone more to get, but it's a start.

There are some complete kits out there thay may be just as economical as piecing it out. Plus you're not chasing parts from all over.

As far as rear, can't help you. Plans are for leaves.
