i include the upgraded or different parts needed for the x-member swap from 91 to 93.

the 91 x-member is cheaper because it is bare and the 93 has the extra pieces

not true:

x-member is exact same dimensionally except for the rear toe rod placement and i include the rear toe arms with the x-member.

the lower control arms are identical but the bushing design changed only. 91 LCAs will bolt up and work just fine but wouldn't be the 93 upgraded piece (which i include). the sway bar is also a little thicker but the 91 still bolts on and fits fine (i also include the sway bar)

thanks for clearing that up.

I'll definately be getting the conversion from you, it just might be a few weeks or months. My car needs a few other things first and it's almost storage time, so I might do the brakes while in storage. Maybe mom can get it for me for x-mas/b-day (about 3 weeks apart)

Thanks Josh for the info.

I dont want the sway bar, nor do i want the endlinks (Im putting ST bars and twosrus endlinks).

I just want what I need to upgrade my crossmember from 91 to 93. I will be putting upgraded suspension pieces on and all new bushings too.

I guess the question is, are there any benefits to running a 93 crossmember instead of the 91 assuming Im replacing all the bushings anyway.

sounds to me like you'd only need the main x-member and the rear toe rods.

the main difference in the 93 is the rear toe rods which help reduce snap oversteer and make the car hook up better in a straight line beyond just the corners. i believe rear tire wear is decreased as well since the angles when braking, cornering, accelerating are changed

Yep, so how much would you charge me for just the xmember and the rear toe rods?

Josh, You got any of these 93+ xmembers with the toe rods and stuff in right now?

I think I want one.

I also want 93+ front calipers and mounting brackets. How much for the x-member, calipers and mounting brackets shipped to 84041?

Ok man.

575 shipped it is.

uum, I want everything needed to swap the 91-93 crossmember, with the sway bar if its bigger. i also want just the front calipers and mounting brackets off a 93.

So, with that in mind, 575 shipped is a good deal.

You got anything else around there you think I might want? (I already have your catch can, and your ss clutch line). You got any SS brake lines?

Hey Josh, are you going to get another shipment of Gen 3 Clips this summer? I may end up needing another one - Mine needs too much work and this guy said he would buy if off of me for more than enough, so I might need another one if he ends up taking it off my hands.
