RESTO on some trailing arms and brakes....Anyone in CO interested?, Have two sets, do just one? Options

[stugray]

I took the trailing arms out of my current car for repairs to the suspension ears.
While they are out, I figure I should:

Clean boxes,
Reinforce with weld plates,
powder coat ( or Plate? ;-),
Replace rear bearings,
Replace rear bushings,

While I am at it, I should do the axles:
strip & paint axles,
replace CVs,
replace boots,
Get new bolts.

Then the rear calipers....
Clean,
rebuild kit,
send to PMB performance...?


Here's the rub..... I have multiple complete sets of everything mentioned above for one car.
Four rear trailing arms
Four rear axles
SIX rear calipers....


For efficiency's sake it seems I should do all of them sets whiles I's at it.

Should I do them all and keep for myself, or..... assume that I can recoup some of my costs by selling/trading the extra sets here after they are rebuilt?

Group buy in NOCO area on some cleaning, & powder coating?
I think I would need to buy 4 new bearings for the arms and 4 CVs to make four good axles...

Gotta agree that the trailing arm clamshells add a lot of weight. I welded on a set, compared them to a spare set stock ones and was amazed at how much heavier the reinforced ones are. Pretty porky, and unsprung weight at that. I ended up plagiarizing Eric's suggested tube reinforcements (thanks!) on my spare set...
