what length axles with late 944 ali arms?

[zen]

for anyone running the late 944 ali arms (specifically i am running 944S or 951 arms), what length axles are you running? i am measuring 21" from flange to stub so i hunted down some 21" axles, but boygenius just brought up a point i hadn't thought of is that once the suspension is compressed, that distance will be shorter. i do have a pair of 19" axles also.

it will be a week or so before i get this thing on the ground and need to know ASAP so i can we working on my axles in the meantime. dyno day coming up in two week.s

the distance between drive flange and stub axle is 21" with the suspension fully extended and 21 1/4" fully compressed.

that's with bug flanges? how much further does a T181 flange stick out than a bug flange?

[boygenius]

I think about an 1" more than the bug drive flanges.

When I installed one of the flanges in my transmission the cv's were pushed in instead of being in a neurtal position.

can anyone else confirm what you are running? the extra length of the T181 output flange has me a little confused because i don't know of any 20" axles. i have 19" and 21". 21" will require me to use T181 flange. 19" i have option of either 90 or 100.

so what are the rest of you running?:

what ali arms?
what output flanges?
what length axle?

I'm using 86 944 N/A alu arms, stock 72 super tranny at the moment, and i'm using 21 1/4" vanagon axles with beetle inner cv's and bus outer cv's
