Umm...

You were aware that your 944 trailing arms are adjustable now, I assume?

And you need these arms for what reason exactly?

I have adjustable rear suspension. COILOVERS!

By the way, I missed the explanation. What's a 944 S3?

I was aware that the 944 arms are adjustable, I assume you are speaking of the ecentric bolt? But this is not as much or as easily as these appear to be on the fly. As for why, I'm putting a set of 944 aluminum trailing arms and more importantly disk brakes on a IRS VW. It's practically a bolt on application except for the E-brake. In all I will be droping this VW a SEVERE amount (4+ inches) and will probably use coil overs in addition, but do not want to put the entire rear weight of the vehicle (albeight not much) on the shock mounts. As for the "S3", that is in tribute to the 968 engine and tranny I have in my 88.

Ahhh... OK;

I see you're into normalcy!

I would think you could use the ones from Claude's Buggies. I don't know what VW you refer to, but it must have T-bars. Claude is kinda a VW guy as you likely know. I can't imagine that attaching the right T-bar cap to the spring plate would be a big deal.
