Options for putting Turbo trailing arms on a narrow body

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I want to use Turbo trailing arms on a 76 tub that I'll be adding flares to.

What options are available to get the Turbo trailing arm to work?

You’ll need to extend the inner pickup points - there are kits available for this.

If you are going with turbo width flares, then set up your rims like a turbo. If SC/Carrera Flares, then you have to compensate of the extra offset of the turbo suspension.
Brackets to extend to turbo arm mounting position? Brian at Einmalig used to have them- still might

why do you want the faster negative camber gain offered by the turbo arms? Because of big hp motor? brakes?
If for brakes, the rear calipers can be modified to bolt on to your aluminum arms.

Thanks Keith and Dave.

Dave, we talked years ago, I wanted to do a double Carrera flare, you sent me a pic of a blue Targa you had done that to many years ago. I'm designing a custom 10" Turbo-style flare and don't want to use huge spacers with narrow body arms. Once the trailing arms are on, I'll measure for best wheel offset and have them custom built most likely.

Motor is just a 2.7 RS MFI, case is at Walt's now. Brakes will be Turbo though.

Ive done this on my SC race car and only had to slightly flare/roll the rear wing arches with a 16 x 9 fuchs but you will need the 75/77 turbo arms to work. they also take the sc brake shoes with a moddied backing plate. Works nice.
