Don't ask me why I chose blue. It photographs better than black.

Wilwood mechanical spot caliper. I designed the parking brake cable bulkhead and the hydraulic brake line bulkhead to pick up the stock locations, thus the stock connections.

That is trick!

those look amazing!

BTW, the heavy P-brake return spring is a must, otherwise the cable will not properly extend and the P-brake pads will drag.

dude!!!

when are they going in production!!!

Cool beans!!!!!

Those are awesome!!!!!!!!

Those look awesome.

However, what is the advantage of your design? Maybe I missed something, but you still don't have a method to adjust rear camber with this set-up. Just wondering.

bigger bearings was one thing noted, along with late model hubs to facilitate beefier axle install.

He also stated that he could "BUILD" up to 3 degrees of camber in to them, but to adjust, you still require shims like stock

Yeah Aaron, you're right.

I also placed the (larger late 911) bearing 1.20" further outboard to keep the wheels spacers down to a reasonable thickness for my 993 wheels, and to facilitate CV adapters for my transaxle.

The design was to simply replicate the existing trailing arm (with some necessary changes) for a V8 street application. I would have approached the design differently for a track car.

neat !!!!!


I was just on evilBay looking at those Wilwood calipers....hmmmmm....mind if I "borrow" some ideas from your design??
(not for commercial use )

I had Randy Beck in Upland, Ca fabricate my rear trailing arms utilizing 930 turbo calipers & rotors...also with the 930 parking brake integrated within the rear rotors as on a stock 930. I'm sure anyone will decent fabrication skills could copy my set-up.

M,

If I paid you the $9/hr, it probably would have cost me less.............But those ham sandwiches would do fine, as long as there was something to wash 'em down with.
