S14 and Z32 susp/brake stuff - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Those of you who frequent FA, please excuse the "multiple post".   :-)  

This probably isn't quite half way, but so far... after visiting a localish salvage yard, I have been quoted these prices:

S14 complete suspension set up (including shocks/springs etc but no steering racks etc)
                    -------$500

Z32 Brake items: Calipers and rotors on 4 corners, master cylinder and Ebrake assembly (no dust shields)
                    -------$450

The guy said he'd cut me a deal; 900 for everything above.
So now my question is: is it good? It seems somewhat high (like 200 more than I want to pay?) but I don't know where else I can get the stuff. How much can I get for the S14 shocks/springs (stock) if someone actually wanted them? Words of wisdom?

I will have to dish out another 100 for the Ebrake cable assembly that'll make it work on my 240 (from that site that I don't have on hand at the moment)... so I'm talking a grand ($1000) for the whole 5-lug swap and Z32 brake swap.

Is there anything I'm missing from my list of parts?

                    Please advise!!

as far as calipers i bought mine rebuilt from autozone for 100 bucks total

i bought my 5 lug front setup for 160

other parts from nissan totaled 250 (thats including stock rotors pads and hardware and a rebuild kit for a used caliper i had and some other misc stuff)

sell me S14 springs? okay I'll buy 'em off you then sell you two sets of S14 springs AND the shocks.   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>    What I meant to say was that the salvage yard guy wants to sell me the whole suspension set up and doesn't necessarily want to part with just the knuckles/spindles/hubs/whatever-I-needs.  

Hmmm I'm pretty convinced the guy's trying to force me to bend over for the Z32 stuff. he was asking 75 for calipers... PER CORNER!! that's insane. And why do your autozones have rebuilt stuff whereas my autozones only have oil, wax and rice parts?  That's not fair.
