Do you have to use so many cuss words?  Group: Members Posts: 906 Joined: 29-November 04 From: 914 Roadshow - Glen Cove NY Member No.: 3,192 Region Association: None  |
I got a line on a 83' complete front end.
The guy wants $600 for everything. That includes calipers, struts, rotors, aluminum cross member. The A-arm have the bottom mount for the bar and I have a top mount, but I can attach (weld) the bracket on from what I understand. Could I use the master cylinder from this car? Should I bother with the rears also from this car? So this is my situation. I have the cash, but I want to get the right stuff and could save some if I get everything at once. Any advise out there? |

Leo,
I may be wrong but you can use your A-arms with the 911 struts but you would lose the larger 911 t-bars. Sound like you're halfway there. What are you going to do on the rears? That takes more orchestration with the hubs/calipers/stub axles/axles/ebrake... Easiest/least expensive/least prefered is adapters. The next is drilled hubs for 5 lug. Then widened stock calipers. Then mostly 911/914-6 LMK when you get powder coating, maybe we can get a volume discount. |
