Those look like they might be new repro’s. But the orig RSRs did have steel ones, before Posche started making arms out of cast. aluminum. I believe they even did some fabricated aluminum ones for the ‘74 RSR turbo. Those must be a sight to behold!

It seems like I heard of guys running SWB trailing arms on RSR style cars. Those are steel. They must have been running spacers too.

Regardless, these cool but not cheap - 5000 Euro.

If those are 5000€ then they aren’t real. I sold a single for $5000 over a decade ago. I can’t imagine what one goes for now.

definitely not real. it says "new" in the advert. Somebody must have created jig from a real pair (at least I HOPE they did).

As I recall from the time, late 80s, early 90s, there was box extensions that needed to be welded to the torsion tube to properly locate the trailing arms.

I think our metal guy does that with an RSR jig.
