Anybody got an idea how much a Bilstein 911SC complete front suspension with calipers, rotors, steering rack would go for? Assuming the stuff is in good condition.
Not selling - trying to buy ...
Thanks!!!

No need for the steering rack....your's should work OK......but a front end runs 350-450 with calipers....more if they have been rebulit and have new inserts.

Unfortunately most packages I've seen for sale include the whole enchilada. Guess some of the pieces are not very marketable on their own.
Thanks for the info.

I gave $800 for a complete front and extras. It's an SC
with Brembo calipers and everything new. Included rack with a new turbo tie rod kit, and front arms had fresh bushings and new 21 mm torsion bars. I did'nt think the price was too bad considering the seller threw some extra parts in the box-( front turn lenses, 3 nice outer door handles, 1.8 airflow meter with k&n aircleaner, new side targa seals, etc.
I'm not sure what the front's actually worth but I was willing to pay the $800.

I paid $350 for SC front strut assemblies. Included Bilstein struts, Caliper and Rotors, with new Bake pads. You really do not need the rest of the stuff...

Seriously, where is the best place to source a 911 front end?

I paid 15k for mine....but the rest of the car came with it.
It didn't do much for the 914, tho.

do you really need any thing bigger than M caliper brakes on a /4?

All you really need is the struts and brakes...I bought a complete SC front end for $500 and ended up trading/junking all the extra bits.
You will probably replace the inserts, rotors, ball joints and tie rods anyway....so if you find somebody willing to sell just the strut housings, hubs and calipers, that's the ticket.

I found mine on the 911 Classified at pelicanparts.com the guy was ugrading to coil overs with bigger brakes, and he was not that far from me...
