spindle/ spacer question.
This might sound like a silly question.
In the brake galleries there are pictures of an unmodified 944 turbo hub on a CB-Performance dropped spindle with bearing spacers. Is there any differance in a turbo hub from a NA hub. If I get bearing spacers made for stock spindles will the porsche hub fit. Is the stock spindle not long enough and that is why the CB- Performance spindle is used. I already have two 1987 944-S front hubs with good crossdrilled rotors and calipers. I was thinking of having a local machine shop make some bearing spacers for me but I want to make sure it will work first. Thanks in advance.

If you go to the main site you should check out the Porsche brake conversion articles.
All require a spacer of some sort unless you want to buy a custom hub. Some conversions machine the hub to get rid off the track increase or do put a spacer in the hub to use the smaller VW bearing. Alex

I was thinking about using bearing spacers on stock spindles so I can run my un-modified 944 hubs. Then I would spot face the spindle to mount my caliper adapter for my non turbo calipers. I think this will work and it should cost me less than $200.
I got my idea about not modifing the hub from Sandeep's tech article on 993 turbo front brake upgrade.
