Small Measuring favour

Hello all. If it's not too much of an imposition, I was hoping that one of you fine gentlemen would take a small measurement for me off of late offset 951 rear trailing arms. I could like to know that the distance between the plane of the wheel mounting surface and the spring plate it. I've measured it on my '86 trailing arms, and it's almost exactly 8 inches. From what I've read on here that implies to me that the later ones should be about 10 inches for the same span. Thanks for any help!

There are some Small offset late turbo arms with Ate sliding cailper, and bump stop cast into arm Maybe you have this one. Check Lanner's site as it is a wellspring of great information regarding this conversion.

Hi. Mine are '86 Turbo arms. They have the bumpstop, narrow offset, and fixed 4-pot calipers.

may be a bit late but here is a photo showing a close compare of the two to eyeball the distance.

Not sure if that is useful to you.
I tossed a tape on my setup and while I have my rotors and wheels mounted which made accuracy a bit difficult I did notice your right between 9.75 and 10 in.

best of luck
