What all needs switched to go from 86 to 87 suspension wise?

I have a guy that wants to switch from an 86 to an 87 951 suspension. I think I know most of it. What can stay and what needs swapped? Thanks all

I think that in the front it basically needs everything, control arms, spindles and struts. I think the brakes will still work.

In the rear I think all he needs to do is swicth the rear hubs to the late offset hubs and change the rotors to the deeper hat rotors. I just did the rear swap from early to late offset expecting to find different rear arms and all but the aluminum arms were the same and the only difference I could find anywhere was the hub and brake rotor.

Odd job to spend cash on. Is he looking for a different wheel offset?
