Looking very cool. I've also had the eye Dr. drill my eye with that dremel looking tool to harvest rust from my eye. Be sure to do all of your antibiotic eye drops.

Man, I've been using the eye drops around the clock, I don't want to see any more eye Dr's anytime soon.

Hey everyone, I don't need the motor I pulled out of the donor car. So it's FREE, pickup only at my shop in Ravena, NY.
Happy new Year-
Adam

Well, looks like a no-go on the off the shelf Dual A-arm setups. The Mendeola guys didn't respond when I asked if it would work for my project but the guy from EyeBall Engineering, who sells a similar setup was nice enough to get back with a very refreshing and honest answer.
"hi
in a word no,but anything is possible with enough money
the old saying goes speed costs money,how fast do you want to go?
thanks bruce"

I can only assume the answer would have been the same from Mendeola, which is why they didn't bother to respond.
Either way neither system will work as far as I know, so I'm back to my own engineering. I had already planned to lower the shock towers in the rear but I guess I'm going to try for the shorter shock in the front. I'm confident I can make it work.

Get your engineering hat on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I've been doing a bunch of renditions in my CAD program using modified corvette C4 control arms and modified 911 struts. More than one way to skin a cat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Look into 944 front spindles, uses same rotors and [mostly] same hubs as 911, and run separate coilovers. You could likely adapt the 944 lower arms (and balljoints) easily also.

I think some use the A-arm parts off of a Opal.
There is a thread somewhere on the samba where a guy built his own A-arm from scratch, but right now all I can find is off-road set-ups.

Not sure why mendeola would not work. They have various widths and various hubs for VW wide five and Porsche 944 I believe. I would not pass this by without more thorough consideration.

Just figuring out to weld it in would be the trick. You got the fab/welding skills.

This was the response from Bruce at Eyeball, a very honest answer, and much appreciated.
