Re: more '83 944 questions

-the aluminum suspension components would be a nice upgrade. if you like pwr steering, there's a swap.

2. In an earlier post, I inquired about 8x16 Fuchs for the rear of the car (I have 7x16s all around) and I think I'm clear about which one will fit-the 8x16 from the rear of an '86 944T. Hopefully, I can find a pair for a reasonable price. However, if I decide to upgrade to the turbo brakes (I'm a hardware freak, I know I don't *need* them), will they fit this application? As I understand it, I'll need the calipers, rotors and front spindles from the same '86 944T.

-they'd fit, but n/a brakes a very adequite for the car. Try upgrading to ss brake lines and high-performance brake pads first.
