Aftermarket A-Arms
There's a new Porsche racing shop near Dallas/Fort Worth. I was just in today to have my 951 block and crank machined and the owner showed me a new set of A-Arms with castor blocks he's built. If you are considering upgrading yours let me know and I can put you in touch. These appear to be much better than the Charlie arms or Kokelns as these come WITH allow castor blocks for the same price as just the A-Arms from the others.

Fifth Gear Motorsports in Lewisville. They have some pretty trick 951 stuff. The owner, Rick Jordan, has been doing Porsche work for 30+ years. Nice shop. Smart guys.

The website is http://www.fifthgear.biz/. The contact guy is Rick Jordan. I don't have any pictures. He was asking $1400 for the A-Arms AND Castor blocks. The same Kokeln setup would be around $2100 (I know this from first hand experience). They appear very solid with some massive heim joints.
