Porsche Crest Converting to late suspension

I want to change my rear suspension to the late aluminum arms but I've been told I have to change things to suit the offset of the new ones but no one is telling me EXACTLY what I need to change to make them work right.

I've been told the 86 trailing arms don't require much converting for an early-to-late conversion, but others have told me it requires a hand full of things... I'm rather tired of being sent in a large loop.

I have an 1984 944 and want the aluminum trailing arms for it. What do I need to do to convert and what all parts do I need? And, I won't need to change out the torsion rack/bar will I? just abit scared the mounts where the arm attaches and pivots might be slightly angled differently than the early torsion bars.

Please do not joke around with me and please provide a full answer, if you havn't done the conversion personally but still know for sure what I'd need and need to do, then I'm listening.

Thanks to you all

PS: I can only seem to find 88-90 arms, which I heard the offset was different, but how different are they?
