    930 trailing arms w/ rear ST flares

    Has anyone converted a LWB to use 930 trailing arms w/ ST flares? I'm wondering if the spacing in the rear can still accommodate 15x9 wheels?

    Thanks,
    S

    Years ago I converted a 70T to a turbo suspension with turbo flares, and they were wide enough to accommodate 11x15 Fuchs. ST flares are a little narrower, but 9x15s will be no problem with such a conversion.

    Of coarse you have to install a rear torsion tube with turbo pick-up points. G

    i welded in modified torsion tube mounts for the turbo arms that allowed camber adjustment. But this was a track car so cutting holes in the rear seats for these adjustable mounts was not a problem.

    Correct. From what I understand, options are to either use a turbo torsion tube or install camber boxes to the existing tube (which typically protrude through the backseat).

    You could just weld bracekts to the exisitng tube which extend the pick up points into the corect position.

    We have been making them for years and they fit easily and are the correct length.
