Not much experience with type 3's but I would think that moving the tranny backwards and with that the engine would screw up the engine sealing sheet metal, exhaust clearance, fan clearance... Why noy use the stock steel arms since they are way narrower then the aluminum ones. It only took me about 2 hours to make some swaybar bushing mounts.

The steel trailing arms are not equipped to mount the 4 pot calipers. Also then I loose the camber and ride height adjustment. there are no particular sealing issues since the t4 to t3 bellows will have to be fabricated anyway. I am concerned about weight distribution to the rear. Shad Laws put a 915 with T4 motor which was set back 1.5 inches and it worked well.

As long as you are prepared for all the fabrication then go ahead full speed. :righton:
