1” Narrowed and 3” dropped IRS control arms have been a fun project. Ready for final fitting and welding on the bearing housings.

Franz’s work on this thing is insane. I’m certain this is going to be the cleanest EV swapped VW ever.

Thanks fellas, the IRS arms have been a process. Mostly due to the clearance provided by the 65 swing axle pan (shocktowers/bodymount).

Yeah thinking about shocks now. Spent yesterday fitting the upper gussets better and fully welding + double pass welded some of the larger joints.

We will build it if it comes.

Shortened lower shock mounts to get more ground clearance. I set the upper eyelet as high as possible(bottom of the luggage shelf).

48” backing plate to backing plate.

13 5/8” with 3” spacers under the pan. It would bottom out with 21 1/4” diameter tires…. We’ll probably run more like a 25” tire with 4” under the pan at ride height.
