Finally, its all here!

Post by s8n » Mon Apr 05, 2004 4:14 am

Yep, finalised my kit this morning.

Purchased the last bits (squeel shims and brake pads) from Porsche of Alexandria this morning..

My adapter kit also arrived this morning complete with GoodRidge stainless brake lines

Kit weights about 35kg with oem porsche hats, but once removed that should drop to around 32kg plus packaging.

Here is a picture

Any other requests? We have some plastic bags and a few GT3's :D There was a hot silver GT2 down there getting a engine transplant, looked brand new too!! Awesome yellow 996 Turbo too :D

I brought the bits from various places, including Porsche Australia. How much? It was pretty expensive but it worked out cheaper for me than buying the kit from someone like AmD and far cheaper than buying it from the shops here!

Kris, perhaps when all the parts are on and you are happy, you could knock up a little guide on what you bought etc?

Part numbers and pics when they are on!

There have been recent posts on AS.net stating that early S3 suspension/shocks were not up too heavy braking?

Think these guys owned early 99 cars? Might want to check the post's out.

I would post a link but cannot access the site from work!

Will drop you a PM later.

When are they going on?
