shocks mount options on T1 with 944 arms

here are some options i am aware of:

1. reducing stud 14mm -> 12mm for the arm to shock respectively.
2. drill the bottom shock bushing sleeve to 14mm (not a very safe option though)
3. replace the bottom shock bushing and sleeve with a 14mm (no kit known of by me at this time)
4. sleeve the top bushing of a 14mm shock down to 12mm with a 2mm thick sleeve.
5. use a threaded insert in the trailing arm to knock it down from 14mm to 12mm.

has anyone ever drilled the top shock mount hole from 12mm to 14mm and run a shock with 14mm over 14mm? thoughts on this? i assume stock 944 shocks would work.

what about making a bolt for the top mount by turning down a 14mm bolt at the end and thread for 12mm? go through the shock then into the mount and nut it appropriately. should be easier to get ahold of the right size donor for that than option 1. thoughts?
