Late 944 Arms and Eagle Performance Uni-ball

wrenchnride247 · #1 November 29th 2006, 22:25

Well, there is a difference in bolt patterns, but no offset, and the VW plates on IRS models have a double plate. I'm using the 944 plates, but have all the old stuff I took off for reference if needed.

well it sounds like the Eagle Performance plates will work fine then. I communicated with terry from eagle yesterday and all he needs is a sketch of the bolt pattern if there is no offset. thanks for your help. Your car looks good :agree: .

BTW: kinda funny how we both have 70 standards with 87 994t rear arms.

Thanks. Oh, and don't forget to put a type IV in the back of that bug too!!

Levi,

Out of curiosity will your talking with Eagle (Terry) result in a 944 based application?

This would definitely fill a void in low cost coilover conversions..

Let us know and continue to keep us posted

I think there are other people who have done the coilover conversion previously, ecspecially in the offroad community. Terry at eagle said he probably already has the tooling for the arms due to prevous customers he only needed a drawing of the bolt pattern where the springplate bolts up the the trailing arm to confirm the proper deminsions.

wrenchnride: I currently have a KO3s turbo from a passat that i plan on using with an 034EFI EMS.

I also have the eagle kit. and I also have
1983 steel 944 trailing arms (same as vw)
1985 aluminum "951" trailing arms (turbo)
stock vw trailing arm.
I was just gonna make new spring plates from an old set of 911 ones I had If I used the alu arms....but what I wanna know is how are people bolting the alu 944 arms on? the bushing is wider, just use washers and a longer skinnier bolt?? or are people welding on diff. brackets??
I might just end up with the early stell 944 stuff so I can narrow them.....so I can fit the 16x7's on a notchback
