Hi all, I am considering setting up a small company to sell these stays which can totally replace the virtually useless conventional struts with a very lightweight and very functional stay. They are easy to fit and are for early 911's and 964/993's. Not sure as yet if they will fit later models as I have a 964 myself. I have already fitted some to my own car - the fronts are really easy, the rears are a little more tricky, but basic skills only required. What I would like some feed back on is the whether anyone would be interested in these items. The company that manufactures them also make other Porsche related products, more for racing purposes, such as a gear lever gate system and a cooler system, but initially the strut/stay items are my main focus, but who knows! Thanks in anticipation of any interest shown. Brian
 
Brian, hate to be all "Dragons Den", but Matthew at Type 911 sells the Porsche original 964RS stay kit for about £20 IIRC. I suspect with our members discount we can get them for the same or less through our local OPC. Am I missing something?
 
Twinny, thanks for letting me know we can get a discount from Type 911!! I have bought quite a few things from them in the past at their usual prices. Maybe I should ask for a rebate going back 5 years or so? In the meantime I'll have a look at what they have for sale and reply to you soon after. Brian
 
I have had a look and of course the RS wouldn't need one of these stays on the front as they are already catered for with the replacement advertised on Type 911. However, I'm not sure what RS models have for the engine lid? Maybe one of these carbon fibre and aluminium ones would be suitable? I'm sure you will let me know? Brian
