Looking for full weatherstrip kit-Brand Suggestions?

I am looking to order a full kit for my doors - all weatherstripping, door jamb seals, window felts, etc for my 71 S. I know LOTS of sites sell them - any recommendations on whose to order based on quality and cost? This car is a daily driver so I am not looking for show car perfection, just a good solid set of seals.

I have had good success with Metro for door and trunk weatherstrip. It has the right texture that fits well. And more importantly, you don't have to slam the doors to get them to shut tight. For the window fuzzies, generally Tim's Trim. I think with any manufacturer of the window fuzzies, you will need to file down the ends. Not just becaus that is how they came originally but also the edges are sharp so you will catch your skin or sleeve.

Metro, Steele, and soffseal are good ones to choose from, in kits or not. If you cannot find these brands in kits, buy them individually. The cheapo no-name brands stink.
