I've been half-heartedly looking for front five lug conversion parts. I'm surprised by how little there is out there and how quickly it gets snapped up. I would think that there are more and more older 911s getting junked/wrecked every day, thereby increasing the supply of struts beyond demand. But it doesn't seem to be true. Where are all the struts going? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
My situation is complicated by the fact that I already have calipers and hubs, and I don't want 911 A-arms. So I only need the struts. |

I'm sure things aren't helped by the 911 Bilstein struts that have internal bushings which locate the inserts (shocks). Eventually those wear, and the strut wobbles a bit, which feels a lot like loose wheel bearings.
Guess how I know this? --DD (Who is looking for some SC struts for His Attorney's car...) |
