I have a 87 Fiero GT, 88 rear cradle with 3.4 tdc engine. To balance the car I need complete front suspension ( cross member, A-arms, springs, spindles, steering gear ). Front wheels are also needed.
The front suspension should be sent to Houston Tx. I have no possibility to pick up.
Thanks

I have several complete 88 Front suspensions with and without the R & P steering here in Florida to choose from however are you aware that this conversion is not a bolt in adaption like the rear is? This conversion is a complete cut and weld situation and it is not easily accomplished. Thing seriously about this and if that is the way you want to go then please email me at LHUBBERT2@BRIGHTHOUSE.COM Thanks for your interest, have a great day and most of all stay safe.

The basics for good trading is mutual trust and respect. That´s why the countries which follow those rules succeed the best. I have bought five cars and a lot other things from the USA and so far without any problems.
I have two addresses in the USA where my stuff can be sent. They put it into a container and open it again in Finland.
I´m not making the requests for fun and I´m ready to pay for the items I`m looking for, when I know the price, condition and US freight. When they are OK for me I will tell the seller and if he/she agrees I´ll pay.
If the seller thinks that something is wrong, I wish he/she will tell me. Treat people as you like them to treat you.

Cool, good to know you have a U.S shipping address. Larry would be the guy since he specializes in 1988 cars.

Just wanted to make sure you're aware adapting an 88 front end is not going to be very easy compared to the rear end. I think it's only been done a handful of times.

Second this. You will have to either find the rear brackets to weld into the space frame or fabricate some. You will have to install the front crossmember mark the location and uninstall it again to do the welding. I couldn't imagine doing it without a lift. I cut those brackets out of 1 88 with this conversation in mind then sold that suspension. The second time I didn't bother because there's no way no how im ever doing this. Most people say 88 rear with an pre 88 front is the best setup anyhow.

You will also need 88 cooling tubes .

Thank you for your information. I´v read the description in Fieroforum earlier and I think I know the hardness of the replacement specially line up the new cross member, find the new bolt holes, make cuttings and welds. Yes I need also the cooling pipes and front wheels perhaps steering gear with the steering axle axle. You are right. It is much easier and cheaper to improve my 87 front suspension. Anyway I still wait for a while. I´m so far away that we do not have so many Fieros and never seen them scraped. So it might be a good idea to have one for the future.
Thank you guys.

If things don't work out I have a complete setup and I'm only 2 1/2 hours from you
I can help out ONLY if you are not able to get one and have it shipped to you from one of the other guys before me.
Thanks Pat
