a $1000 or more. you will need the following parts:
all parts listed are from a 88+ non abs car.
turn knuckls w/hubs
tierods
compleat front axels with approprate tripods for your current trans
front rotors pads & calipers
compleat rear axel
rear rotors pads & calipers
6 brake lines
new brake booster & master cylinder
2 hydrolic lines from master cylinder to distrbuton blocks
8 screws to attach rotors to hubs
rear parking brake cables
parking brake lever ( need to cut out from donor car and weld into your car )
16 lug bolts
4 wheel locator pins
4 rims with a 4 x 104 bolt pattern and correct back space ( any 88+ saab rim or after market rim thats 4 lugs)

I think thats everything needed, but I might of forgotten a thing or two.

Im doing an axel swap on my 85, but I decided to beef it up while Im at it: Im going with 9000 aero calipers stainless brake lines, cross drilled rotors & carbon fiber pads, boxed upper and lower control arms, boxed cross member, and modified rear axel location ( moving it foward 10mm to eliminate tire rub, Im planning on running 225/45/16's or 225/40/17's )

If you decide to do the swap, it probably would be a good time to freshen up the supension and/or install sport springs/shocks as well. check the bushings and replace any that look worn( visable cracking etc). check your balljoints also, if they are easy to move their shot and need to be replaced as well.

hope this helps,
Jordan Sturtz
85 900T
