Uprights for double a arm suspension?

[miller]

Im lookin for a set of uprights to use for my double a arm suspension. THe vw ones would work but id rather get a set that has the ball joint mounts further apart and a set that has lots of rim and break options. here is what im lookin for

1. Lots of wheel options
2. Prepherably used on another double a-arm car
3. Good breaks stock or good upgrades.
4. Fairly cheap and popular

Are their any other consideration I should look out for?

Im thinkin fiero would be a good option. Also some other cars like toyota supra and other 80 early 90's sportscars. Thanks

toyota supra, but the wrecker will probably want too much fro them.

Uprights.. you mean spindles... same thing but different name...

My 1987 RX-7 had aluminum lower control arms and steel upper arms. 10.5" rotors with 4 pot calipers. It would do 130mph to 0mph all day long without missing a beat. I think it was 5 X 112 lug pattern or something close so there would be alot of wheel options. Hope this is what you were looking for.

It seems the early 928 Porsche front suspension is a popular choice with the guys doing the conversion. The early 928 parts are cheap also. Mid 80's S4 cars have the bigger brakes and will cost more money. Both have the right bolt pattern for some P-car wheels.

Thanks,

I like the rx7 idea seeing how their are tons in the junkyards. Ill have to check out how they mount up. I was thinkin porsche but it seems ill be limited in rim choices and getting stock parts might get expensive. I might try hondas. Tons of rim and break options.

honda uses a mcferson strut front suspension.
