I'm not sure of an exact total, so many of the bits and work I did myself. The major bits; coilover shock kit $425 (Jegs) narrowed rear arms (I think $425 at Aircooled net, mine were custom though) There are so many small items that I fabricated like shock mounts added to the arms, upper shock mounts added to the frame in the engine compartment, the 935 style link that replaced the spring plates, the front mount for those. Most of the mounts are made of 1/4" plate and re-enforced. $40-$50 in steel plate chromo hiems $45 each threaded tube ends L&R $60 $30 in grade 8 hardware My time and fabrication skills = priceless That is just in the suspension, doesn't include wider rear wheel tubs or any of the parts I had to pay someone with a better welder to weld up. Plus a good friend gave me a bunch of the plate and helped with cutting out pieces for free. Just a rough idea on costs, damn I wish you wouldn't have made me look at all that money I spent . Jeff
