If you remember, I send some pics about my trailing arms a couple of months ago. Then I had just moved the bearing housing 15 mm inwards. After those pics I have sandblasted them, done all modifications for 911 e-brakes and painted them. Hope you will like the pics.

Joe,
If you chop 15mm from your control arms. You need to shorten whatever axle you decide to use. Whether you stay 4lug or go to 5 lug. 15mm is the max. The jury is still out as to whether all this chopping is worth the 15mm. Timo did it so he could run a set of wheels he already owned. Rich Johnson did it, because he thought he could more easily get 7's under his car. He found he gained nothing. He still had to run the same size tire as before. Neat idea, what exactly is the gain ?? Early 911 axles: 69-74. B |
