I am at the point where I will be sand blasting the suspension and doing the 5 lug conversion. Do the trailing arms flex that much that they need reinforcement for a street car? And what length wheel stud should I use for the 5 lug conversion?

Not sure about the trailing arm question, I purchase a set of boxed arms after building my mild v8 street car that I auto crossed some. I never installed the boxed arms. Seems fine for what I've done which has included some wild mountain driving in Colorado.
Studs - that would depend too on what wheels you chose to run. 911 wheels will fit fine with the shorter studs, but when you go to wheels off the boxter and other models you may need spacers since the off sets are different. |
