Get a set of 87 or 88 regular 944 Turbo knuckles (not M030), or alternatively the knuckles from a 89-91 944 S2 (not M030) or 92-95 968 (not M030). These are all the same. Also get the front rotors for these knuckles.
AND, don't forget the late model 87 or 88 non-M030 front 951 struts. The N/A struts would need to be modified and 2 mm shims would need to be fabricated. I tried this route and gave up and just aquired the 951 struts instead.

Check my sig for what my brake upgrade looks like.
