GU (latemodels) Radius arms q's

Post by A1 »

Just question on the latemodel GU radius arms .....are these designed with a removable bolt on the pin mount instead of the older setup where the pin is cast into the arm ............

Thought i read sumwhere that the later pootrols had the possiblity of movin the front diff forward like 30 or so mm ..........was wonderin if these arms still use the same mount pattern of the older GQ models on the actual diff ...........


The next question would b wot model are they on YEAR n so on.......hmmm how much $$$$$$$ im sure they would be pricey :? even second hand ..............


Just think of n easy way to get the front forward a bit furth with out fittin offset radius arm bushes

i believe they are the same mounting positions so ive been to,d by Snake Racing, so there are no dramas there, im not sure what year model they are out of, but you might be right on the higher price, but who knows, good luck

Probs with moving the front further north are.
Coils are way out of line, looks real dodgy.
Panhard hits pumpkin on full up.
Shocks can hit edge of hole that they pass through.
All can be fixed but a bit more work in involved. ;)
NOW ABLE TOO SAY WHAT I WANT WITHOUT FEAR OF LOOSING SALES.

point taken Cheezy ........my coils already look strange with just the 12mm spacers i got from somewhere , um arhh thats right :idea: ( CHEEZY RACING :armsup: ) :D ......iwas contemplatin cuttin the coils perches off the axle and movin forward then bracin as it seems n easy way compared to cuttin the chassi upper coil/shock brkt off (but this would prob look a bit weird too ..........


im keen to CRLIIN off theboards front coils as he has moved his a fair way forward with mods with castor bushes and spacers .............although i cant remember wat Wendles was like as he had his front forward like 60mm or so ...............

Yep all can be done, I moved mine 100mm but with coilovers Its EZ. Other probs were tyres hitting rear of headlights. :roll:
