DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

The 964 passed its APK the other week, first time, but came with a couple of advisories. One of which was a leaky front strut. It'd been an advisory the year before as well, and now my 964's over 30 it's a 2 yearly APK and as such I'd rather not present it with the same 'problem' again. So, picked up a set of barely-used Bilstein B6s. And since the springs looked grotty, I picked up a set of Eibachs. So that'll be that sorted.

The other advisory was a weep from a steering rack boot, do I picked up a pair. And then I figured that whilst I'm in there and I'm going to have to stump up for an alignment anyway, why don't I replace the track rods while I'm at it?

This is why! 400€ a pair! From what I can gather, they're 263mm long and are M14x1.5 at the rack end. Coincidentally, the same as a Renault Tragic. Now I know if I use the Tragic track rods, I'll need to find appropriate rod ends and possibly rack gaiters, but am I missing something here?

They are nothing like that price in the UK. I thought the quoted price seemed high as I did not cough when I replaced mine (they are aftermarket)

They're still over £400 for both sides according to that link? And they're the weird inners that you have to set parallel to the ground, rather than 'normal' inners...

The Lemforder ones are priced for a pair of 2 aren’t they? The OE ones are twice as expensive and getting on for £400 posted

Yeah, but the Lemforder ones are just the outers and centres. So I'd still need to replace the inners, preferably with something other than the Porsche ones that look like they're off a 2CV.
