Late 944 Arms and Eagle Performance Uni-ball

[levi20AE]

Has anyone used an Eagle performance Uni-Ball coil-over conversion kit with the late 944 arms? I was mocking up the arms tonight and noticed there is a significant offset between where the stock spring plate bolts to the stock trailing arm and where the late 944 arm would bolt-up. Can a spacer be used between where the eagle kit bolts up to the trailing arms and the trailing arms? Does anyone know what the offset differnce is between the stock arms and the later 944 arms?

Thanks

I'm not using the uni-ball set-up, but I do have the late 944 arms and spring plates. What are you calling offset? The stock arm's, and the 944's are the same distance from the pivot point out to where the spring plate bolts up. The 944 arm is wider only after the spring plate mount.

hmmm.... the offset i thought i was seeing was between the where the spring plate bolts up to the trailing arm. it looked like there was a sizeable gap between the late arms and the stock arms. The offset looked to be in the left to right direction not in the front to back . ill try to mock it up again and see i can find any mistakes in the previous attempt.

Do you still have the original arms? If so, set the 944 arm on top of one of the old arms, and line them up, you will see where the arms differ.

i thought i read somewhere that there was a different offset and the 944 spring plates had to be used? i guess ill have to look more carefully.

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.
