Late 944 Arms and Eagle Performance Uni-ball

[levi20AE]

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.

well it sounds like the Eagle Performance plates will work fine then. I communicated with terry from eagle yesterday and all he needs is a sketch of the bolt pattern if there is no offset. thanks for your help. Your car looks good :agree: .

BTW: kinda funny how we both have 70 standards with 87 994t rear arms.

Thanks. Oh, and don't forget to put a type IV in the back of that bug too!!

Levi,

Out of curiosity will your talking with Eagle (Terry) result in a 944 based application?

This would definitely fill a void in low cost coilover conversions..

Let us know and continue to keep us posted

I think there are other people who have done the coilover conversion previously, ecspecially in the offroad community. Terry at eagle said he probably already has the tooling for the arms due to prevous customers he only needed a drawing of the bolt pattern where the springplate bolts up the the trailing arm to confirm the proper deminsions.
