Trailing Arms Buyer’s Guide

Our Trailing Arms are made from 4130 tubing and Strenx plate, and give over an inch of extra tire clearance. They're sold as a left and right pair with hardware. You can order them in stock length or in our Extended Length (+2"), and add our Rally or Track mounts with them.

Which one do I need?

Length

You want Extended Length Arms option
A direct replacement for the stock arms No (stock length)
Better rear geometry without going to our XXXL arms or a T-Bar Yes (+2")

Mounts

Your setup Replacement Mounts option
Our T-Bar or Geometry Special None. Your T-Bar already includes trailing arm mounts.
Stock height, and you want stronger mounts or are ordering +2" arms Track, for more ground clearance. Choose Rally if you might lift the car later.
Lifted Rally
Stock-length arms on the factory mounts None needed

The +2" arms need our Rally or Track mounts, or the mounts that come with our T-Bars. They don't fit the factory mounts.

Options

Extended Length Arms

The +2" arms are 2" longer than stock. A longer arm moves the wheel less forward and back as the suspension travels. Across 7" of travel, the wheel moves 1.12" with our +2" arms against 1.24" with stock arms, 10% less.

They are a middle step between stock and our XXXL Trailing Arms, which are 9" longer and cut the movement to 0.91". They suit cars that won't run a T-Bar. See the XXXL Trailing Arms guide for the full comparison.

Replacement Mounts

The same mounts we sell as Trailing Arm Mounts, added to this order.

  • Rally: four holes, for stock and +2" arms at stock height and lifted.
  • Track: two holes, for stock and +2" arms at stock height. It sits higher than Rally, so it gives more ground clearance.

See the Trailing Arm Mounts guide for the exact hole positions.

Powder coat

Powder coating adds about 2-6 weeks. See Powder Coating.

A rear part for the GC/GD group:

  • Impreza / WRX / STI 1993-2007 (GC, GF, GM, GD, GG)
  • Legacy 1990-1999 (BC, BF, BJ, BD, BG, BK)
  • Outback 1995-1999 (BD, BG, BK)

Common questions

Is it one arm or a pair?
A left and right pair, with hardware.

Can I order stock-length arms now and go +2" later?
Yes, if you have our Rally or Track mounts. Both have a hole for each length.

Do I need mounts with the +2" arms?
Yes. Add Rally or Track, unless you have our T-Bar or Geometry Special, whose mounts already fit them.

I'm buying your T-Bar too. Do I need the mounts option?
No. Every TSSFAB T-Bar, including the one in the Geometry Special, comes with trailing arm mounts.

Should I get these or the XXXL arms?
The XXXL arms give the most geometry improvement. The +2" arms are the middle step, especially if you won't run a T-Bar.
