I agree. both a location and a rough list of what you need would be helpful.
I have a lot of sprinter stuff on hand (ask anyone who's been over here...),so I may have some of what you're after.
as for suspension,whiteline offer a basic package (don't let them sell you kybs though,as they're absolute crap). I was in the middle of getting some rose jointed gear made for my car before it was written off the other week,and could put you in touch with the shop that is/was doing it if you're in Sydney.
the only suspension gear I have spare atm is a pair of whiteline lowered rear springs. I'd want $50 for them. as new condition.

Justin...

Hey Justin,
Hey I heard you have heaps of parts do you have a rear axle to sell with the disc brakes on it? If so how much are you selling them.
Thanks

ko ko, sounds like you're looking for the much sought after LSD rear axle type... goodluck with the find - they don't come up too often and won't be cheap when they do.

Ko ko: I have a disc brake rear setup,with an open 6.7" diff,but it's not for sale. you'd have to make one hell of an offer for me to part with it.

Daryl,
some guys just don't realise just how hard some of this gear is to get nowadays. sprinter diffs are nearly impossible,as are several other parts for the car I could rattle off the top of my head.
about one diff pops up a year,and they're increasingly priced on the wrong side of $2k. the only way I'll part with mine,is if someone imports one of the hot staff IRS setups for me,and takes the diff as part payment.
same goes for my auto folding levin grille. I've had three people look at it so far,but noone has bought it yet. AFAIK,you and I are the only guys that have them in Oz.
sprinters are increasingly becoming a cult car. people have to realise that they're not a cheap run around anymore. they're hard to get parts for,which means you can't pay what you do for commodore bits from a wrecking yard. it's supply and demand.
Justin...
p.s. we're waiting on a parts list 13954.

Heh heh ... plus there's another one for sale as well in the sale section and not too long ago, a blue Sprinter sold with a folding grill as well. They are rare but that's all I'm aware of in Australia ATM. Even rarer are ones that work or are complete. 
As for that Hotstaff IRS, $6k is a lot for a rear diff setup ... I guess the beauty of an open wheeler is that any aftermarket LSD like Kaaz, Cusco or TRD will fit in and make the diff like new. There's also less likelihood that an open diff would have been thrashed thus far ...
