Vertex rebuilt suspension parts

Here they are. Total cost for 4 wishbone, 4 control arms and 2 track rods was 995. They are rebuilt from original parts. They have the Porsche part numbers on them and seem to be good. Have to do a full 100 mile run to see how they fare. Working on the rear. Will update when I'm done and tested.

Wishbone:


Wishbone again:


Control arm:


Front wishbone, control arm, tie rod, drop link installed:


Upgraded polyurethane bushings on the control arm.


Rear track rod with polyurethane bushings:


Another look:

How did you find them as in performance? Not tested completely yet. Drove a block with the front one. Night and day between my old and these. They are pretty tight and stiff.

BTW, if interested please ask for the full kit price. I had to finagle the guy into including the track rods. Even then it was not shipped. Called them and he tried to tell me that track rods usually don't go bad and don't need to be changed. Didn't take too much convincing to ship. He did correct it right away. I estimated the savings to be around 300 bucks.

And thanks for the folks here who recommended.
