Title: For Sale - Entire 5-Lug, 11" Front Brake Conversion
Post by: DIAF on December 17, 2007, 11:34:05 AM
I have a set of '87-'93 Mustang Spindles, 11" Lincoln Mark VII rotors, Lincoln Mark VII 73mm calipers, and NAPA brake pads that are for sale.

The rotors have new inner and outer bearings packed with grease and installed on the spindles already.  The spindles include the dust shields and have been painted with 2 coats of POR-15 and 2 coats of Rust-Oleum Black paint.  The calipers are painted Ford Blue.

I had planned on doing the 11" upgrade to my '87 Cougar, but after purchasing '94 Bullitt wheels and realizing they don't fit the spindles, opted to go the 13" Cobra brake route.  Therefore, I have the entire 11" 5-Lug setup available.

All parts were mounted on the car for about 2 months while it was up on jackstands in my yard, but were never actually used by me.  The brake rotors have the usual coating of rust on them from sitting outside and not being used.  However, everything should be perfectly fine and functional.

I'd like $300 for everything plus shipping, as all this stuff is freakin' heavy when bolted together.

PM me if you're interested.  Thanks.

I'm new to this Forum.  Cut me some slack.  I added City and State.  I wasn't sure where to put the for sale stuff.  I searched for a subforum but must have missed the marketplace one.

Price too high???  I paid over $100 for the spindles, then cleaned them up and put 4 coats of paint on em.  The rest of the stuff is brand new parts, not junkyard finds.

You can get a used SN95 Brake Setup, Inner/Outer Tie Rods, & New Ball Joints for less than what your asking price is.

I'm picking up that exact setup for my 85 tomorrow for $80.

Not to hijack the thread, but you can't ask new prices for used parts and especially parts that are only minor upgrades when compared to stock.

Ok, maybe the price is too high.  If someone wants 'em, make me a reasonable offer.  I'd like to get them to someone who will use the stuff instead of sitting at my house collecting dust.  :)

Keep in mind guys, they ARE 5-lug rotors and 73mm calipers...I think he got screwed on what he paid for the spindles...I don't think it's THAT bad of a price for all NEW parts.  Go to the parts store and try putting it together for less.

I agree and believe that should be a FORUM RULE, like some other boards do...  If you have no intention to purchase, keep your comments to yourselves....    What a PITA to open your thread and see a bunch of useless posts about your price from people you KNOW have no money to purchase it no matter what the price....  [/rant]

Rant over

Edit:
That is a decent price, for what comes with it....

It IS a forum rule

9. Please, if you see an ad here and you don't like the item, keep it to yourself unless it is an obvious rip-off. Don't ruin people's ads by running their car down. If the item is not worth the price it will not sell here anyway, so don't say "that thing is junk, I wouldn't pay half that" or things to that effect.


But as usual folks don't read.

Thread-ping may start resulting in Infractions....

So if it IS a rule, then why are the mods, NOT doing ANYTHING ABOUT IT?!?!

And yes that is a fair price..... stay firm on the price buddy, it is worth it....
