I'm still used to paying 80% higher prices for pieces of metal that bolt onto cars with a Porsche badge. Its painful at best.
lol, i was about to start the "why don't we use porsche front struts in our cars" thread, and in looking for the pics i found out why, $900 a corner! hub is $900! its really really overpriced...

the design is great though, check it out, strut mounts right on the $800 screw in ball joint, and then spindle goes where ever you feel like...

That looks suspiciously 911ish...

Once I secure an RX-7 (looks like the one I was going for fell through...) I'll put the 944 away for some go-fast rebuilding. Once I'm all done I should have some spindles and hubs laying around... We'll see
