Hey all, I found a guy whos selling an ST205 3sgte front clip.(and no, i'm not going to give you his contact information
 ) It's a 5-speed with a little over 40,000 miles on it. I'm really, really interested in it, so I told him I'd give him 2 grand for it.(I thought I'd start a little low, so that we could negotiate). He e-mailed me back and told me that was WAYYYYYY to low.So my question is, is an ST205 really worth THAT much more than a ST185? Or is this guy asking way too much? Thanks for the help. Please let me know ASAP. --------------------  |

Newer. . . lower mileage. . .
And places like Jarco are junk, don't buy from them. You need to SEARCH. the clip is only half of the cost, you're gonna need like 5-8K total for this . . . with 225hp you're gonna want upgraded or at least better braking system, IC lines if you're gonna go FMIC (or buy gt4 hood), and tons more.

Dr. [right][snapback]323889[/snapback][/right] I disagree with alot in this post. First, Jarco is not junk. I am not sure where you recommend getting the clip. Second, there are ALOT of reasons to buy a ST205 clip rather than a ST185 clip. The most obvious are: 1. Newer, lower milage engine (like you said) 2. ct20b turbo rather than ct26 3. a/w intercooler 4. 540 injectors rather than 440's 5. no AFM 6. better head / cams If you are shooting anywhere under 330whp, the 3rd gen is the better choice, hands down. The only downside is parts availability in the states and that really isn't too bad if you know where to look. Third, the GT brakes are not that bad and if you don't drive like a maniac, they will be fine until you upgrade.
