Nice find! $200 is definitely a good price. For the MC you can take off the 944 reservoir and pop in the beetle plastic nipples and it'll all line up with the stock low pressure brake lines. The fronts will bolt up but you'll need the camber+ control arm adjusters from topline. Make sure you strip everything and give it a good once over before you bolt it on, it's a good time to rebuild anything that needs it.

It's nice to know that the MC will work out so well. It sure does make for a nice parts upgrade/interchange that Porsche used so many VW spec parts. On my Monte Carlo I used Impala front brakes and had to buy special upper control arms to fix my caster issue for ~$400.
Definitely will get Camber+ kit (Looks like <$60 US +shipping, way cheap compared to my Chevy) will +/- 1* be enough adjustment range? A complete rebuild is in the works for all brakes, bearings and CV's.
I would hate to use crappy AutoZone wheel bearings and brake rebuild kits. Are there any relatively inexpensive 944 parts available online or am I going with Pelican and letting my children inherit the payments along with the car.
