Hi Gang,
While the front suspension seems to be a breeze (bolt on a 911 set-up), I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a turn key (bolt them on) rear conversion? Kit would contain: 2 Control Arms - Bead blasted to bare metal. Checked for straightness. Repainted with POR-15. 2 New Wheel Bearings 2 Rebossed and drilled 5-lug Hubs. Factory 45mm Studs. Set in the new wheel bearings. I was thinking $450 plus your loaded/usable control arms as cores (control arms and hubs). So for $450 you have basically "brand new" control arms, bearings and 5-lug hubs ready to go. You'd have to buy 914-6 rotors. Doable? Anything I'm missing? You could add items at will (Mueller bearings, Box kits etc...). Thoughts? |

Hey Eric,
It sounds like a good deal !!!! Unless you can confirm the rubber bushing are in perfect shape, I'd make replacement a standard item. If you are set up for this kind of work, would you be interested in being an installer of front and rear bearing kits? Not everyone is setup to do these kind of projects, Brad and I have discussed having a few "authorized" install people so that shipping wouldn't cost too much for people wanting to do an exchange. I plan on hitting up Chris Foley with the idea, but it might conflict with his own sales. |
