If you want to do the front, you need the front spindles and hubs from an '85 turbo. The shocks may be ok. Wheels, I am unsure but do know that 944 15" phone dials will fit while 911 fuch will not. The rear should be direct bolt-on. Any way you look at it, you will need new rotors front and rear. This setup will maintain the early offset.

Late offset will require 87+ spindles, hubs, control arms, sway bars, shocks, rear trailing arms, rear hubs/stub axles and the 4 calipers and rotors.

All the standard 944 turbo/944S2/968 that DO NOT have the M030 suspension use the same caliper. Remember that the rear caliper's pistons are smaller than the front caliper's piston, so check part number and install them correctly or you will lock up and possibly crash.

Picture is of my N/A '86 944 with turbo brake conversion.

I have an early '86 Turbo, will the '87-'88 Turbo/'89 S2 calipers work with my early hubs/spindles/discs?

As far as I can tell, they will. Supposedly my calipers on my '86 were removed from an '88.
