Hey all,
After finally getting back to the states I had a chance to start going through my To Do list for the teener. Well that list just got allot longer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) THe whole front end is shot and will need a bunch of work. Anyone willing to discuss options? Replace what's there or swap out the front end? Also any tips on dropping the front end? I figure that it's easier to work on the suspension when it's out from under the car. So 2 ball joints 2 tierod ends and struts at a minimum. Yikes Attached thumbnail(s)

So I completed the tear down of the front suspensionand now need to plan for the rebuilding. There are 2 ways I can go but am looking for suggestions and some help on what are good prices. I'm planning on starting to AX this car but will also drive it on the street with the wifey.
1 Stock rebuild: Sand blast and paint all hard parts New bushings for A-arms New felts for torsion bars New Ball Joints Turbo Tierods New struts Boge or Bilsteins New front wheel bearings and seals Cut or replace rotors (Optional stockers are ok) Brake pads (Optional stockers are ok) New hardware Alignment 2 Performance upgrade: Used 911 front end (dependent on cost) Sand blast and paint all hard parts New bushings for a-arms (poly? or stock?) New ball joints New struts Bilsteins Torsion bar felts Turbo Tie rods Rebuild kit for 911 calipers 19mm master cylinder New wheel bearings and seals Cut or replace rotors based on condition sway bar kit ??mm or stock New Hardware Front 5 bolt wheels and lugs (minumum) or all four Alignment So am I missing anything here? |
