I finished disassembling my new suspension components and then mount one of the rear trailing arms onto my car to see how it fits...awesome. I went from paper thin, solid rotors with steel trailing arms from 1969 with the smallest calipers know to man, to vented, cross-drilled 24mm rotors with aluminum trailing arms from '87 with large calipers.
To put it into perspective, the new rear rotors and calipers are bigger than the stock front rotors and calipers. (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Progress/images/135_3568_JPG.jpg) Just in case anyone was wondering, I thought I would show the differences between the steel trailing arms from '69 and the aluminum ones from '87. The geometry between the two appears to be very similar with exception to the angle on the shock mount.
