Not running huge tires but 2.7 rs engine and close gears- tires will likely be sticky 205's in the future but on 15x6's with 195's at the moment. Car weight- 970kg (2138lbs.)
Personally it looks a bit questionable but I'm new 914's. Could I use this for a while with plans to upgrade. Should I consider fully reinforcing both arms with this set up? Pete |

Good point Clay. I took that approach tot he front trailing arms of my old BMW 2002 and was glad that when it did hit a curb the arm was not stronger.
So, is that to say that the rear arms are strong enough to hold keep the wheel alignment in spec under hard cornering? Pete |
