OK, I've stopped dreaming of a ZR1......it's time to do get back to reality. :nonod: :sad: I need to replace trailing arms, and I think I'd like to do the whole ball of wax, arms, bearings, rotors etc. Where do I start? :confused:

 

With a fat wad of money ;)

 

Steve, talk to Gary and then go to http://www.bairs.com That's where I had mine done. And what mackey said :cheers:

Wow - that price sounds almost too good to be true......congrats!

 

:rolleyes: Good answer, that should point him in the right direction... :(

Maybe he should contact Avitrix, as she just had the same thing done.. Also I know a shop out here in Somers NY if you want...

They at least can give you a labor charge... as for parts, like I said Avireix just bought the complete set up for her 79 & at least she knows where to get it.. At leats that will be a start..

I think most of us know it will cost a "Fat wad of money ;) but I think you were looking for a more specific answer... E mail me if you need more info..

 

Thanks for all the responses! :cheers: But if it's a Fat Wad Of $$$, I'll just put it towards that ZR1 I've been wanting. These are not that bad.... :rolleyes: To be continued........
