I'm just finishing the complete suspension rebuild on my resto (getting new tires this week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) ) My rough guess is I have about $1.5K in parts in it not counting the tires. Here's what I put in and the sources:
- A-arm bushings - 914Rubber - Rear trailing arm bushings - 914Rubber (these are the hard bushings. Elephant Racing has the only OEM type rubber bushings I know of but 914Rubber is working on them). - Front/Rear sway bar bushings - 914Rubber and Porsche - Lemforder turbo tie rod kit - PMB Performance - Lemforder ball joints - PMB Performance - Bistein front/rear - PMB Performance and Amazon My rear springs tested close to stock numbers so I kept them. Easy to replace if they start to sag. |
