I thought I'd see how much you experts think this is worth if it is in good working order...
I have a chance to purchase this and want to see if it is a good deal. Big red brakes, aluminium rotors, trailing arm stiffening kit, adjustable coil overs. I also see it looks like it was attached to camber boxes in the front, would this work with a stock shock mount in the front? Attached image(s)

Yes, the top adjuster plates will come off and you can use the stock strut mount.
Used, the front Bilstein RSR's with coils and perchs are worth $800-$1000, rear $500-$800, the rotors are worth probably $600, the calipers are $1000-$1500, and the five lug hubs, spacers, and trailing arms are worth $500. So i'd say in a package like that, your looking at $3000+... and thats a good deal for all that stuff. Before you get ahead of yourself, what car is this going on? If you have a V8 monster or a 3.6-3.8RSR with massive tyres, then this equipment makes sense. But for a relatively stock car, a 911 S front end is giong to help way more in useage and finacially than that kit. |

I was looking at this for an eventual track car. It is in the early project stages right now and will be a weekend street machine till then. It will eventually have a nice six, but that is down the road.
I'm sure in the beginning this will be way more brakes than I need, but it seems like a once in a lifetime deal. If I were to get this set-up is it way to extreme for occasional street running? Like would the brakes never heat up unless it was on a track? I love everyone's insight on this board. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

With a 914, at any speed that can be achieved with an internal combustion engine, within the parameters of an Earth-like atmoshpere...
Dood! Your brakes will be close to freezing.. they may reach room temperature rolling to LA from vegas... M |

One more question, Will 15" cookie cutters fit over these brakes? I think I know the answer though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Itsa gonna be a tight fitta! I put a set of those brakes on my 944 and had Fuch's on three wheels and could slide two sheets off paper in between the wheel and the caliper! The fouth wheel had a phone dial which had plenty of clearance. I am replacing all with 17" C2 Turbo's if I can ever get all of the damn powder coating off!
