I like the newer design on the rotor placement as well. I hate taking the hubs off just to change the rotors Same way on my 911.

Interesting point on the built in rear spacer instead of the earlier design... Worst case I will just drop the aluminum arm idea and use the 944 stubs and rear brakes bolted up to the stock VW IRS arms.

Bottom line, the German metal fenders will stay and I will hack the suspension to fit accordingly. I fear the front axle will need shortened a bit as well. I may have to do some fabrication to get the rear swaybar installed though if I stick with the stock arms.

Rome was not built in a day. Whatever I do not need will end up FS here anyway. Hell I do not even have the cars yet!

I just read Sandeep's article and it seems possible, just with some custom fabricating here and there.
