Most of the articles will work on a Super(ior) or a standard. The brake tech articles (2ea) look to be done on standards, but to do a super all you need is the 944 spinle/rotors, 73.5 and later control arms/struts and Kerscher ball joints. Then bolt them up.

I'm running MaxxStruts.
Around here (GL'ville) the Super(ior) is not thought of as a Bastard. It is the bug of choice for most.

I thought it was all going to be simple for an 03 too, but when I researched it isn't just a case of swapping over the spindles and using Kerscher ball joints.
There is also: +ve camber in the Porsche spindles needs correcting (triple C camber bolts?) Extending the tie rods track increase (need late 03 parts which are wider and the brakes add another 10mm per side?) Only early spindles have the speedo cable hole in them. I think a tech article is needed! Rich
