Category: Porsche 911 RSR

Having your classic 911 sit on its wheels in a well-balanced manner makes an incredible difference in its road behavior. Sounds like it makes perfect sense, right? You’d be surprised what we find has been done to guests at the TwinSpark Racing Lair!

To be able to fit short, RSR or Turbo trailing arms (no, they are not the same…), a modification to the non-RSR (who owns a real one these days?) non-Turbo tub needs to be performed. The pick up points for the rear trailing arms need to be raised and moved sideways. This allows the short trailing arms to provide a sturdier stance to your car.

Sounds easy, but to get this cut and weld job done accurately, a special rig is needed to simulate the set up of the rear suspension. A few year ago we found out that we couldn’t drop our 1973 RSR (originally a 1973 [...]
