I'm hoping to swap my '87 hubs and uprights over to the non-ABS '86 units and am hoping to snag all the required pieces from a rennlister on here with an '86 parts car.

Does anyone have everything I'd need? Thanks in advance.

I have been offered everything I need for the front: spindles, hubs, rotors, and a-arms. Does anyone know how much this would all be worth with half-life rotors, and a-arms with over a hundred track days on them??

Also... does anyone have the rear components? Lart, don't you have a gagillion parts cars?

I have a set of control arms of an 86.. just sold all the hubs/spindles/rotors/ brakes though

let me know if you would be interested.. $75 + shipping

Not trying to discourage anything, but wouldn't putting 86 parts on your car revert you to the earlier offset and give you a harder time with wheel options?

yea, why do you want to back-date? Also, you don't want half life rotors. Buy new ones. You can get the front pair of zimmermans on ebay for $200 shipped. As for the control arms with 100 track days, the ball joints probably will need replacement in the near future

FSAEracer03

Precisely.


The arms are known to be "well-used" but still good for street use, at least. I plan on fabricating my own pair after these are worn out anyways. The rotors are also still good, but used. I'm not going to drop $200 on new rotors yet if I don't have to (which I don't).

Darwantae951

Ok...is there some bit of info you didn't mention? Such as current condition of your 87 hubs and control arms?

-Darwin

No, the condition of my parts is irrelevant, really. I'm hoping to change over to non-ABS, and simply wondered if any of y'all knew the value of these parts.

...and I'm still looking for the rear hardware if anyone is willing to offer it.

Update... I don't need to swap the front system, but I need to swap the rear, and disable the ABS.

Rear stuff... anyone?

It always amazes me when people say this. Can the late guys run Fuchs, CC's, or Turbo PD's? No

Can the early guys run just about any later offset P-wheel with spacers or early BBS or Enkei w/o spacers? Yes

Now exactly who has the least wheel options?

Cory9584

why would you need different hubs to get rid of the abs? Dont you just bypass the abs unit?

I did the same thing, back dated to 86 rear hubs and rotors. That gives you alot more options.
It was the only way I could put 18X10 wheels that had a 3 inch rear lip.

FSAEracer03

That's why.

Just some ideas to pass along. I race a 86 951 w/ 16 x 8 early offset wheels. I run steel 83-85 control arms and ball joints. The arms can be box welded and replacing the ball joints only requires 3- 8mm bolts. The arms and ball joints can be purchased new for around $100. THe reason this is to my advantage is with a stiff, lowered ride the stock cast arms are known to fail and upgrading to aftermarket arms would require me to take a 2nd. mortgage.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate it. I was actually planning on doing that in the long run if the dimensions were the same, but for right now, I actually realized I don't need the change in the front to fit the wheels. I can actually just disable the ABS system, and convert the rear over to get the desired outcome.
