Default Converting 964 Turbo Look to NB Control Arms
Hi all, I am finally purchasing one of my bucket-list cars this Friday. 1994 C4 Widebody. I am looking to convert it to Narrow Body rear trailing arms. I have reached out to some members for help (thank you), but just want to double check that I am buying the correct items. The car has been upgraded to OEM turbo brakes front and rear.

PARTS TO BUY:
• (1) Left Rear Axle Trailing Arm (964 331 021 00)
• (1) Right Rear Axle Trailing Arm (964 331 022 00)
• (2) Rear 24mm Stock C2/C4 Rotors (951 352 041 02)
• (1) Rear Swaybar (Stabilizer) 20mm (964 333 701 06)
• (2) Rear Axle Shafts (964 332 024 08)
• (2) Rear Wheel Bearings from NB car (999 053 042 06)
• (2) Rear Wheel Hubs from NB car (964 331 065 06)
• (2) Rear Brakes Lines (964 355 191 01)

Possibly different rear calipers for the 24mm rotors opposed to the 28mm. Though I was told the turbo calipers may work fine, but should change the pads early so the brake pistons are not over-extended.

If anyone could please share any helpful information or let me know if I am on the right track, that would be fantastic! Thanks

Mr. Wolfe

Mr. Wolfe
Huge congratulations! Can't wait to see it when it's done. Exactly what I would want to do a widebody 964.
What wheels are going on the car? Oh the dish of the rear wheels...

Congrats Mr. Wolfe on your new car, post up some pics when possible! Is the sole purpose of changing to NB rear trailing arms in order to achieve a deeply dished rear wheel???

Thanks! I don't have it yet, but I can taste it. lol The wheels will either be Speedlines in custom size (very expensive) or Rotiform CUP in 18 x 12 and 18 x 9.5. I have thrown around the idea of Rotiform FUC and KLU also. Not sure as of yet. Tires would be 305/30 in rear.

That is part of it, yes. Another part is I had read the handling and cornering with the setup is incredible. I am actually designing the wheel to have a little bit of concavity so it doesn't have too much lip. I mean, the lip will still be huge, but I want to minimize it some.

I love seeing these cars appreciated and being fixed up to such a nice level. Horseless is based around the corner from me. Always interesting to see what they are unloading.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous car you have there. I love the color. Please let me know your thoughts on the Ohlins.

The car I am buying was never posted on the market. I learned about it from a friend of a friend. He just doesn't drive it enough anymore.
