Mike Mueller originally retailed a roller bearing replacement for the front and rear suspension. He gave the designs to me and I've finally priced all of the components out and am ready to start taking orders. In case you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, you can look here. I will need 10 people to pre-order in order to get the run going. The normal price will be $500 per car. But for anyone who gets in this first run, I'll be selling them at $450 a set. Pre-Orders: 1. Andy 2. Steve 3. Clay 4. Eddie 5. Bruce 6. Ted 7. John 8. Bill 9. carlilq 10. Eric Shea 11. Mel 12. Rob If there is enough interest in the fronts, I will make the rears available. These bearings work with all 914 suspension, all 5 lug conversions, and all 69-89 911 suspension. I'm sure a few people will post their experiences with the bearings, but when I installed a set, I KNEW the difference as soon as I drove the car out of the shop. Stock suspension DOES NOT COMPARE. These are a great improvement for daily drivers and race cars alike. (IMG:http://www.paintandmetal.com/images/exploded.gif) |

The rear bushing switch to solid bearings is almost mandatory according to some 914 owners that have those heavy, powerful 6s like Andy. The engine will kinda torque the arms around in their flimsy rubber pivots, and wears out the hard plastic type pretty fast. Rears only would probably sell OK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I am working at a snail's pace installing a set in my 1.7, because everything I read was so positive. There are lots of cracks and potholes in my neighborhood I'd like to drive over without skipping on the CD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
