Hey, this seems like a good deal.
So, I can get a short wheelbase steel trailing arm for only $4K? How is a short version a 73 RS? Or, am I missing something and this is actually a deal.

Well, I wouldn't call it a screaming good deal but it is rare, compared to the average steel trailing arm. Porsche used a shorter trailing arm on the 2.8 RSR, along with a revised torsion bar tube, wherein the mounts for the trailing arm were relocated. This gave the rear suspension more camber change in bump, which they intended to result in a flatter tire contact patch as the car rolled in turns. They used these shorter control arms for the last 175 or so production RS cars, or so the story goes.
The turbos had similar rear geometry, albeit using different parts. JR |
