How to: 944 Turbo brakes on a Super

The Porsche springs being too stiff would be an understatement, I mean that car is about 3,100 pounds as compared to the Beetle's 1,800 pounds. You guys really do some dangerous things and I fear someone is going to get hurt.

Check Yetibone's post as he attached a pic and it clearly shows the 944 spring to be about 5mm larger than the Super. You'll also see the clamp he had to make to hold the spring to the strut.

Keep in mind also that the 951 strut is not the same design as the 944, some even are welded and you can't change the insert. As said before, and again here, the 951 retrofit is not simple and easy like the 944 procedure.

Sure you went with the 1302 strut bearing because the bearings don't interchange between the late and early body.
