Hot dang. I am sweating over those wheels right now. And the suspension, for that matter.

If I lived in the area I would have called you by now. Just too far for me.

Good luck with the sale! I sure hope somebody picks this project up immediately!

Thanks for the compliments. I just refurbished the wheels and used stainless hardware. If the car doesn't sell by Thurs. I will contact you about the wheels. The centers have a circular brushed finish to mimic a machined finish.

Chris, I'd be interested in the suspension if you part out.

I have a feeling this will turn into a part out thread.

I may be interested in the suspension setup. Where are you located? Also, any comments on how it rides on the street (my car is my DD get-to-work machine)? These would work on a 968 right?

I am located in Ft. Washington, just outside of Philadelphia.

This setup rides very nice for the street, which is why I picked the Firehawk fronts and the spring rates I did. Yes they will bolt right onto your 968.
