Default Converting 86 T to late offset ????

I want to convert my 86 Turbo to a late offset, and I plan on running a BBK and going with the Broadfoot Racing widebody. What parts will I need suspension wise to get this done? Thanks in advance for the help!

Control arms, spindles, hubs, tie rods, and trailing arms are the big items to pick up.

btw search is your friend as i have a thread where i converted my 86t to 87 suspension

front-
a-arms, spindles, hubs, ROTORS, inner tie rod ends

rear-
you can do the entire rear trailing arm - arm itself is actually the same- OR you can do the axel hub and spline shaft which requires pressing the rear bearings apart and would need new bearings as well but you keep the same rear swing arms. Also need rear ROTORS.

I dont think he needs new trailing arms, just the late offset hubs and rotors. I just did the rear conversion on mine and unless someone had previously changed my rear arms and put the early offset hubs and rotors on them (unlikely) I could not tell a functional difference in the arms. I proceeded with changing the hubs and rotors and all seems good.

I think that's the route I'm going to go. I'm thinking Broadfoot widebody kit and have a set of CCW's made for it.

CCWs, like Red is doing. To bad, I just traded some off that would have worked for you... Kenises would work as well..
