well, my stock front suspension needs to be rebuilt. so i figure what the heck why not. my plan is to accumulate parts in advance. i talked to german auto dismantlers (i think that was them) and asked for a price on an early 911 front suspension. i was quoted 200 for a "rough one". i need to buy Torsion bars and shocks as it is, so why not put that money into a "rough" 911 front. i figure i dont need used struts and stuff, just the brakes and rotors....ill replace t bars, and shox
what i need to know is: *someone said early 911 struts are interchangeable with 914's? is this so? if so: ill put new struts in my car now, and carry them over to the 911 front at the time of install/switch * how much are my 2.o liter fuchs alloys worth? original, no curb rash on most. have 5 of them *911 fuchs go for about 100-125 apiece *what size wheels should i look for, on my stock fendered 914. 15x6? 16x6? *how hard is it to restud stub axles? cost? *this front setup will give me 911 M calipers w/ vented discs right? * i need to use 914-6 rear dics right? the only downside to this conversion other than cost is, my rotors and brakes are all redone as of last year.

Here's my parts list:
911 front suspension $500 911 front brake lines $30 Ball joints $88 A arm bushings $50 front brake pads $50 turbo tie rods $120 911 rotors $120 rear hubs predrilled $60 rear studs $50 rear wheel bearings $70 914/6 rear rotors $120 914/4 rear brake lines $30 rear brake pads $50 rear 140lb. springs $100 15" Fuchs $500 alloy lug nuts $60 total - about $2000 So, if you do it on the cheap it can cost as low as $300-$500 plus wheels. Done with all new/refreshed parts - figure on $2000. If you need new shocks figure on another $500 for Bilsteins or Konis. |
