Miles, this is for you...Here is my control arm to my 93C2RSR which has the turbo body. You can see the ERP 935 style spring plate with the camber adjustment, and you can see the monoball cartridge.

I have ordered the rear brake kit from Wrightwood racing (your other thread) which consists of an aluminum hat (no parking brake) and an AP Racing slotted rotor. The rear caliper is the 993RS caliper which has larger pistons than the 993TT rear caliper. I'll post the pictures when I get them

There was a thread on the 964 Turbo board that Miles started asking about brake upgrades and turbo trailing conversion to N/A trailing arms for wider wheels. I have ordered, but not yet received the Wrightwood Racing brakes kit. When I receive them, I'll post a picture. They are currently backordered.

Hey Geoffrey! Im really sorry i didnt see your post- thought nothing new was posted on the thread
thats really superb stuff... i see what you mean now by the plates.

How much are the 935 plates each? get them from you or porsche?

Are the arms brand new from porsche? look really nice.

Thanks for the info on the brake kit. I have to do some more research on the parking brake- look at ways around it. if you use 993RS calipers will you then need a valve to balance it out at all?
Best regards and many thanks again

willwood do a "mechanical" caliper so you can have a uk legal parking-brake (cannot use hydraulic lock)
ferrari 360's (i think, maybe 355) have them too , try douglas-valley
