I just wanted to respond based on my own practices.

Order of modifications:
1. Safety.
2. Safety.
3. Safety.
4. Speed

ie;
1. stable base (no rust, strong frame rails, solid working platform).
2. Brakes ( you always want the best stopping action... period).
3. Belts / Cage / Roll-Over bar ect.
4. Start tuning your motor / tranny options to get the output desired.


Now it must be understood that I myself am very much a 'light myself on fire and get on it by the seat of my pants' kinda guy. But at the end of the day I want to come home in at least as many parts as I left in, leaving me with the need to have a safe vehicle to get sideways in...

Always tune to your own expectations and desires, not cause your trying to one-up the guy in the booth or parking spot next to you. Its your ride, its about you.

So I guess the real question is, where do you want your ride to take you?
Best of luck.

p.s. in relation to your brakes, I would go at least disc in front if not all the way around, just cause modern gear performs better.. so research 944 conversions as that seems to be the way to go.
options:
single pot x 4 (944 n/a)
double pot x 4 (944 turbo)

double in the front, single in the rear?
running with or without 944 trailing arms...ect.

Or you could go for total madness and just put triples (6pot) all the way around the way that lazylongboarder did... but that might just be a bit over the top...(no offense lazy...)
