2 questions -
1) will they fit under 15" fuchs? 2 ) i know they are 3.75" spacing....and you can slot the ears to fit on a 3.5" strut... would an adapter be feasible to mount them to a 3" spacing strut? |

Just an update... The welding on the rear trailing arm ends up with the tab farther inboard. So when you weld it on, it attaches behind the factory weld where the bearing carrier attaches to the trailing arm. You end up not welding the cast iron, but the steel behind the bearing carrier.
And I looked at the adapter thing, the mounting tab will not allow enough clearance to clear the bottom edges of the pads with an adapter plate, front or rear. Even the monoblocks with the adapter blocks have to have the inboard pad milled off slightly to clear the factory 914 caliper mount. |
