Most use some sort of hydroboost setup for brakes. I haven't read up about it quite enough. There are some BMW parts also that are fairly cheap and improve braking. When I do my LT1 (yikes, i'm admitting it in public) I'm going to get the Willwood calipers also.

I agree! As cheap as 944s can be found these days, I'm not feeling as guilty about it as I thought I would. And yes, I will be posting pictures when I get started.

Some of those are really clean (first few, especially the 2nd dark car -any more info on it?). I'm not inherenly against any engine swap, but the body kit on the grey car is not appealing to me in the least.

But that's the typical taste of the hybrid crowd.

those first couple up there at the start of the thread are beautiful... if you do it right, you really do get a nice outcome out of it....


...and then you have these other.... monstrocities...
