What rear brakes can I use on early (steel) 944 A-arms?

As above really? Will the later stuff fit? I want to run vented discs on the back and twin-pot 964 C2 calipers. Will the late 944 hubs work? Will I have to use the 944 driveshafts too?

Thanks guys!

Hi

I did what you want to do on my sons 1303. The pads are tad wide for 944 rotor surface.

Late 944 hubs are a different animal.

You can use your stock drive shafts if you fit a Beetle stub axle in.

As Steve said. You can use 86 944T rear rotor to match the caliper (24mm wide, 3mm spacers required under caliper to center rotor), or Boxster S (2000-2004) caliper (comes cross drilled, no spacing required).

Thanks guys! So I just use all the gear straight off the 86 944T? Sounds too easy
