'86 aluminum control arms on my '88 951

will these work? i am thinking that they won't due to the late offset. any ideas?

that is what i thought. too bad, as there is a set for sale locally, and it would be nice to rebuild them and have them on the shelf.

off the top of my head, the overall offset of the wheels is different. if this is wrong, please let me know.

The late offset arms are about an inch longer.

Nynor if you are still looking, i have a set of late offset arms that would be good rebuild candidates for sale. Let me know if you are interested in them. I was keeping them as spares but am going with aftermarket arms finally.

aftermarket arms are probably a good idea. which ones are you looking at?

Was looking into both the Fabcar and RacersEdge arms.. more than likely going to get the RacersEdge.
