Back is done, on to the front (later in this thread)
Hey guys, Starting winter projects: Rear Brakes/Suspension are up first. -This is a street/daily driver. Just trying to get the sagging ass up and improve the ride quality. - So far I've got New: 100lb 914rubber upper and lower shock rubber bushings Plan is to buy: Rear control arm bushings (914Rubber) Rear Caliper Rebuild Kit (If that seems beyond me I will send to PMB) Discs and Pads will be addressed as needed once I get it all apart. Turn the discs if needed or replace with new pads. We shall see. Any suggestions on anything else with the rear brakes/suspension?? Thanks all! -Rob Front Suspension/Brakes will be part 2 of the project. Just trying to keep it manageable and on budget ish |

Calipers stripped, blasted and painted.
Will report back on long term endurance of VHT gold caliper paint. They sure look good though. Got several boxes from Pelican with all new pads rotors and rebuild kits for the calipers. Speed bleeders. Stainless hoses. Bearings will be redone also. Replacing CV pivot shafts due to wear and destroying one of the threads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) getting bushings from 914rubber on those and shafts from 914werke RH side had no shim whatsoever which makes sense as to why that wheel was tipped in so far! Got new 3mm shims to at least get a new base point. Settled on 914rubber 100lb rear springs and bilsteins. Fun project so far, sure takes a lot of time and patience but I'm hoping the payoff is worth it! |
