custom trailing arms...?
Unity-28 - November 3rd, 2004 at 09:47 PM

Anyone know someone that is able to make custome trailing arms for a IRS rear end? They need to be 1 inch narrower, and able to be lowered alot more than stock ones...

Thanks Nectar.

Yeah.......... but how much money have you got for this little job..... I'm thinkin' over 2.5K If you get the engineer's certificate. You will be looking at brake mods, New custom axles and cutting the rear arm and you can't get any more then about 40mm a side(80mm total) because of the spring plate..

anyway send u2u if you want more info

Damn 2.5 k...I might as well get the ones from aircooled.net for 495 us..... I onlt wanna go 25.4mm on either side narrower so therefore the type3 short auto axle will work, and I will have stock brakes, and I need them to be made that they dont interfer with the top shock mount. This is not for an offroad application, its for my Restocal 63 rag.
Custom offroad sell theirs for 900 odd, but if its the case that they want heaps more than that, I will go back to swing axle, and bag that....

Yep we can do them.. $660 exchange of $770 outright. They are narrowed and strenthened.

The ones on the website are off my Buggy and are what you may call over kill ie custom hubs, shock mouts, bearings etc etc .. Basically I custom Made them from scratch. The narrowed ones and normal over sized ones are as priced above..

I will change the website

Cheers,

Sorry I mis-read you post.....it was late.......I thought you were looking to get more then an 40mm :mad: and I was thinking cutting shock towers, moving the parcel shelf even cutting the torsion housing and stuff like that:duh
