you will get one if you are patient. A guy near me would gladly take 1000 for his 924 turbo. I also know of a 944 with fuchs wheels for 1200, and another late model 944 with an automatic for 2500.

craigslist sucks. The best deals I have found have been spotted while driving. I see a porsche, I hit the brakes and go make friends. You would be surprised how many people have these cars just sitting and would love to get rid of them. You would be surprised how fast I go through brakes too haha.

Pretty struts. You need some provision for forced air brake cooling to complete the whole gig though.

Very nice setup!
Are you using 931 spindles?
Wha are these calipers? are they direct fit to 931 spindles?

Im' askin coz I need new front calipers right now and I'm looking for something that fits 931 spindles without too much efforts with it.
