Default What's a 1986 944 turbo suspension and brakes worth?

So I just installed coilovers, '87 spindles, and big brakes on my car.

What's the value of the equipment I replaced if I intend to ebay/sell it?

- Koni adjustables all-around with 30K on them
- Stock springs, stock torsion bar
- '86 turbo spindles and hubs
- '86 turbo front brakes with used pagid orange pads
- Almost brand new '87 turbo rotors with >30 miles on em (got my car from the shop back to my place so I could do the brakes myself after the spindle swap)

Worth anything or should I bin all of it?

How many miles on the rest? While tempting to scrap them, I am sure someone out there would buy them to put on their own car. I can't put an absolute value on them.. but unless you get more at the scrap yard, see if someone wants em!

Definitely don't bin it!!!

The set is worth at least $500. In fact those 86 spindles can be used to convert NA cars to the big turbo brakes.

Turbo brakes about 200 bucks a set. 86 hubs and spindles.....50-100 if you are lucky. Those things are only worth money at the track when someone breaks one and needs it right now, lol. 87 rotors, maybe 100 bucks for the set. Stock springs/torsion bars I would assume you can't give away. Koni adjustables, maybe 300-350 for the set.

HAHA, are you by chance remembering my thread from last December Doc? When we were at T-Hill 25 hour frantically searching for 86 spindles?

Either way, that is some funny shiz that hits home!

Ok, so brakes and struts/shocks are worth something then. Bin the springs and torsion bars.

Conflicting thoughts on the spindles. Seems like the spindles/hubs + brakes would be worth something to the <'86 NA crowd. I'll throw it up on ebay and see if anyone bites. Just don't want to throw anything out that someone else can make good use of.

Someone was asking mileage, car has 95K on it.

I've got a few sets of spindles, rotors, and hubs from 86 turbos and they haven't sold even as a complete set for $100.
