Hi

I am thinking about getting some rear trailing arms made up. I would be getting the rear ones modified so that I can fit a 235 tyre on the rear of the vehicle.

Would anyone else be interested?

[HYP04]

I bought another set of trailing arms and modified those some pics in my rides..
Depending on wheel size, Im running running 15x8's 40 offset with Advan A048s 225/50/15 which side wall extanded approx 7mm past the rim. Its pretty much a matter of c sectioning out the front and adding a bit more steel and gussetting on the rear. The biggest thing that I needed to do on the rear was to adjust the lower control arm back in near all the way to tuck the tyre back under, then add an adjustable upper camber arm.

Racefab will have some soon
Ready to suit brembos and to suit the later model bolt on hubs

Cool,THanks Dougmo I'll contact Rob

[DOUGMO]

Ill put up some pics later

Here we go, They have 20mm extra inner clearance, 3kgs lighter than stock(per arm=6kgs total),
accepts the late model bolt on bearing/hub assembly and its already fitted with a bracket for the rear brembos.
There is no pick up for the rear toe arm.
Toe adjustment is done on the front with a threaded setup, no shims. rose jointed front pivot, at this stage cant run the drum rear handbrake.

Nice kit there George

[7zark7]

I just got an email from Rob regarding this.
Dougmo have you seen these in the flesh?
Are they welded well? Enough gussets etc where they meet the bearing housing?

[DOUGMO]

I dont have them yet, but half of my car is from Rob and his welding quality and workmanship is always right up there.

[DOUGMO]

and remember the hub bolts onto the arm as its a late model one that is used,not evo 1-3 press in style

[7zark7]

Thanks George
Is Evo 4 bolt-on bearings the same as 5 & 6?
Pity about the handbrake; Might have to go hydraulic afterall

[DOUGMO]

yep, same bearing setup

[7zark7]

F/S: One pair of Evo 3 trailing arms with brakes but w/out hubs $1300

What about a cable operated spot brake/go kart set up?

[7zark7]

^^ Please Explain??

Something like this. This one takes 280 - 330 mm discs at 20 mm thickness and is cable operated. Therefore you can use most of the original handbrake set up.

Karts use these hooked up to a disc on the axle.

Awesome idea legume

I have seen these. I would like to keep it around $1200-$1300 without having to buy rear calipers, discs and new bearings.
