The price alone puts it out of reach of the average Fiero owner. Just to add to this. I really don't think it is worth it. With Grand-Am swaps and Lebaron brake swaps and the newly designed Caddy brake swaps, you can get excellent braking without needing to go exotic setups.
The guys on the Fiero Racing list, said the tubular front suspension is actually a step DOWN from the stock front suspension. They had it on a few race cars and pulled it right back off. To do a complete Grand-Am swap on the front and a Caddy swap on the rear to retain your ebrake you are looking at less than $600 (you could probably do it for $300 if you are crafty and find good deals) If you have the brakes to lock up all 4 wheels at any speed and can handle repeated abuse, you don't need much more. |
