Front Suspension & Brake Purchase

I drove to McKinney, Texas today to pick up a front suspension and disc brake set. I found the items for sale on a Mustang forum site a few days ago. The individual purchased the suspension parts, installed them, and then decided he would go with a Mustang II suspension for road racing. The brakes were used on one of his vehicles for a couple of hundred miles and then swapped for performance brakes (again for road racing purposes).

The package included the following items:
Upper Control Arms (Open Tracker)......................... $199.00
Lower Control Arms (Open Tracker)......................... $140.00
Roller Spring Perches (Daze Cars)............................ $168.45
Adjustable Strut Rods (Glen’s 5.0)........................... $230.00
Ford Script Dust Shields (Repro 2K004-2A).................. $29.95ea
Brake Calipers (Repro 2B120-3C at NPD)..................... $101.95ea
11” Disc Brake Rotors (NAPA - #85502)...................... $85.96ea
Right Flexible Brake Hose (NAPA - #5453)................... $30.95ea
Left Flexible Brake Hose (NAPA - #5456)..................... $30.95ea
Master Cylinder (NAPA - #4736222)........................... $69.95
Spindles (D0ZA 3107C/D0ZA 3018C).......................... $239.95 ea
Caliper Brackets (0A2C) - sold with above at NPD
Tie Rod Ends (2 MOOG ES387R).............................. $14.95 ea
’69 Power Steering Unit (SMB K 9K07B)
1 1/18 Sway Bar 67-70 .........................................$109.95

The NAPA master cylinder and MOOG tie rods are all still in the original boxes. The suspension was never used and the brakes were only lightly used. I purchased all of these items for $700. Individually, the parts would cost about $1,800. The parts are not all new but they are in very good condition.
