Was asking about the spring plate not the trailing arm. But I get the idea. Even a 935 spring plate (on a 911) retains the stock trailing arm.

Is this just an area where the 944 is less developed aftermarket (than a 911)? Are inner camber boxes possible on a 944 like a 911 (which don't just provide camber adj but allow raising the roll center and messing w/ anti-squat) or does something like a gas tank get in the way? Im guessing full-tube frame 944s dont keep the stock pickup points.

I always found it interesting that people shun poly bushings on the inner joint of the trailing arm because they need to twist in 2 dimensions but then do basically the same thing w/ the outer bushing.
