Default FS: Bilstien Escort Cup, Dynatech, Camber and Strut Bar

This is the suspension from my 86 Turbo I am parting. The shocks, struts, springs, camber plates and strut bar all have ~5k miles on them. The struts are the escort cup valving and I have the helper springs front and rear. The front springs are 400# and the rears are 550# The strut bar does have a couple of marks in it where it has rubbed the hood.

I would like to sell the complete setup, but I am willing to break it up if there are buyers for everything. If I end up breaking it up, I also have the front spring hats to use with other camber plates or factory front strut mounts.

I am asking $2000 for the struts, shock, springs, helpers, camber plates, and strut bar as a package plus shipping.











I also have a set of front control arms. The control arms are the early offset with the 968 M030 caster blocks and Rennbay track/performace ball joint kit installed. The ball joints have ~5k miles on them and the caster blocks ~15k. I am asking $250 for both plus shipping.

A few questions... sorry if the answers should be obvious, but I'm not a suspension expert :

1. Are the springs 2.25" or 2.5"?
2. Are the camber plates Racer's Edge or something else?
3. Would the camber plates work with stock Turbo S M030 struts?
4. Will the entire package fit a late offset car?

Thanks!

1. Springs are all 2.25"
2. The camber plates are Dynatech streetable camber plates.
3. I would think, but not certain. The camber plates were ordered and came with bushings designed for the top section of the Bilsteins. I don't know if you would need different bushings or if these would work. These bushings compensate for the diameter difference between the top of the strut that goes through the camber plate and the inside diameter of the spherical bearing.
4. Yes, as far as I know everything will fit a late offset. I was running late offset spindles with these.

Rob,
I am interested in the complete package.
I have a few questions?
What valving are the front coil overs?
What are the difference in the 1986 coil overs versus the 1987 and newer?

They are all standard Escort cup valving:

Front Struts are valved @ 600/190
Rear Shocks are valved @ 565/218

I don't think there is any difference between the early and late struts. FWIW, I was running them with late offset hubs and spindles.

Thanks Eric! I had always wanted a better setup on my 924S when I was autocrossing, TT'ing, and DE'ing more, and once the Turbo is back on the road, I plan to start up that practice again... who knows, I may even try a little Club Racing if the itch really hits me. I've got plenty of local PCA friends who Club Race, so it would be easy for me to slide in and give it a shot once my track skills are sharpened up !
