I know of a 95 teg lying aroung but I'm not sure if they're in good enough condition to use.
trailing arms run lengthwise with the car..attach to the drop a-arm in the back.

when you push your wheel up and down you should see two large pieces of metal moving...the one heading the center of your car is what i call the lower a-arm -- which i donno is right, and then the trailing arm is just what it sounds like...the one that runs parallel to your "trail."

Tons! probably cost more than the car is worth. Thousands. the abs system, abs brake lines, abs wires, abs sesnors. dozens of hours of labor.
mines got the wiring for ABS, dont i just add the ABS components to the brakes and be done?

If you don't know what the trailing arm is...I wouldn't recomend doing this project alone h:

I heard the AEM kits was good but it squeaked alot. Is the AEM conversion kit like a GSR/Si swap only with AEM rotors and Pads? or is it something custom made by AEM and different completely?
