Thoughts on Griffiths R134a A/C kits?
Has anyone DIY the Griffiths R12 to R134a kit for the 944? What is your take on it? Is the installation and instructions straightforward? How does the R134a a/c compare to the existing R12? Do you think it is worth the $600?

I did this last summer and also put the condensor they sell in as well and it work perfectly! I used their Khuel compressor kit and have not looked back! It was worth the money to me!

looking for more info on this subject. after replacing the compressor a few years ago, and possibly going bad again AND a leak or clog of some sort in the system, im looking at the griffiths kit including compressor/mounting hardware/dryer/hoses etc.
same question as above that didnt get answered.
is it worth it?
is installaton easy and straight foreward?
would a new condensor be neccesary?
thanks

it would probably be a good idea to replace the condenser as yours is full of birds and things.
i put one of these on my car and was very happy; the design is more efficient than the tube/fin design of the oem unit. the factory lower hose attaches directly to it as well.

they are also well made, i got into a gnarly crash which destroyed the front of my car. the condenser got bent like a potatochip just a little bit but still doesnt leak

It seems TonyG had a bad experience with the generic conversion kit.

The Griffiths brackets look twice as thick, fittings look different, and it comes with a proper high pressure hose. I personally don't think that's worth an extra $200 though, but maybe it is.
