Help setting rear track out

I have 17x9 et55 turbo twists on the rear of my 1303 with a 1.5" spacer and 3" wider fenders. Due to poor planning, this set up has left a gap in the back and I would like more of a tuck. Could I put wider buggy style trailing arms and longer bus axels? If so, how will that setup stand up to higher HP?

i don't know about the use of buggy arms, but the 944 arms will widen the tack 1.5" for early arms and 3" for late arms. do a search in the suspension forum for more info on these setups. this of course commits you to 944 brakes though unless you one off caliper mounts to go to other calipers.

as info, i am running late arms with 3" fenders and 17x8.5ET48 rims and it is just about where i like it. may could use a small spacer to come all of the way out to the fender.
