Default WTB Upgraded A-arms

Just picked up a 951 for the track and the only thing it needs are some upgraded A-arms. Anyone have any that they want to sell?
thanks!

If you find yourself with fabcar a-arms, I recommend against using the Delrin bushings that came with them and instead using either factory bushings or a spherical bearing configuration.

I had corrosion issues with the steel pin that slides into the bushings, which caused binding issues.

A-arms for early offset cars (83-86) vs. A-arms for late offset cars (87+) are different lengths.

If you don't want to go the fabcar route ($$$$'s) you can always just upgrade your a-arms with the track/performance kits available through www.rennbay.com. + new stock bushes up front and 968 block at the back.

I have these on mine because i sheared a lower ball joint at the track...i went with the 19mm longer pins...they're great...slight bump steer but very predictable...oh and you'll need camber plates because it increases camber a lot...almost 7 deg of camber after i switched to the longer pins.

I even sent my A arms to rennsport and he installed them and machined my spindle...fit great.

I have a set of OEM 968 A-arms, if that's the way you want to go.
