Spindes, Welded Or Machined?
Does Anyone Know The Pros And Cons On Welded Spindles ( Welding Porsche And Beelte Spindles Together) Verses Having The Spindle And Hubs Machined For The 944 Brake Convertion? Does The Welded Vertion Push The Wheels Out To Match The Rear (with The 944 Rear Brakes), Does It Lower The Front Any?
does Anyone In The South East Have Experience In Machining The Hubs And Spindles (would Prefer Using Beetle Bearings)? If Anyone Around The Upstate Of S.c. Wants A Pair Of 1983 Porsche 944 Trailing Arms, I Have A Spare Pair. Just Come And Get Them. Thanks For Your Time, Erwin |

Thanks For The Info. This Sound Much Better Then The $280-$350 Quotes I've Recieved For Machining The Hubs, Spindles And Making The Backing Plates!!!!!!! :d
One More Question. Do You Know If With The Extra Metal Added To The Spindle, Will Th 17x7's Still Fit Under The Stock Front Fenders With A Stock Beam?? Thanks For Your Time, |

The welded dropped spindle will space your wheels out, but I can't honestly say how much and if you will be able to keep everything under a stock fender. I haven't gotten around to getting mine done yet and fitting everything up. You can always narrow your beam to get some of the offset back. This is what I'm planning on doing.

I have been told that the welded spindles add 1.5in to each side.

Thanks For The Replies, I Went Through Franklin's Vw Wreck For Caliper Brackers. There Wasn't A Need To Have The Hubs Machined. Everthing Fits Just Right. Thanks,

its great when parts fit.
Steven,
I wonder if you might be able to post your parts list, it seems you have had some good luck with getting it all together. I would love to know what combo of parts your using. Thanks in advance for any insight. jmd |

GOOD MORNING,
IT WAS PRETTY EASY, I WENT TO http://www.franklinsvwwerks.com/ AND ASKED HIM FOR THE PART# FOR THE CALIPARS. THEN CALLED WILWOOD FOR THE PART# FOR RED CALIPERS TO MATCH THE ONE FRANKLIN GAVE ME.THE CALIPERS ARE DYNALITE II AND JUST ADD RD TO THE END OF THE PART# INSTEAD OF B. THE COST PER CALIPER WAS ABOUT $105 DOLLAR APIECE (ABOUT $10 DOLLARS CHEAPER THAN BLACK).I ORDERED THEM THROUGH SUMMIT, THEN FRANKLIN SENT ME THE ADAPTORS AND HARDWARE FOR $250, AND I USE MY STOCK SPINDLES, NO MODS NEEDED!!! ALSO CHECK OUT VDUBS FOR PORSCHE KITS. HIS PRICES ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS, SO THEY ARE CHEAPER THAN THE LIST PRICE. ANY ? FEEL FREE TO ASK, ERWIN |
