Is it safe to say that mounting the 930 arm will give me a similar geometry to an RSR? I know there needs to be new mounts fabricated, which leads to question number two: what mounting location would give me the desired results?

Thanks,

Todd:

930 arms, mounted in the proper (930) position on the torsion bar tube, come closest to replicating the RSR geometry as these were designed for more camber gain with big tires.

The 930 arms are wider in the area between the axle flange and where the outer CV attaches with a double wheel bearing set up. Its very robust.
