Ken,
I love my 5-bolts. You want 5kt or 5ktq hubs in back with
same 4kq rear bearing.
5kt housing up front with 90q Ball joints with struts drilled
to match or slotted ur-q balljoints (bolt right up). Thats 85'
urq. 4kq spring perches (or coilover like I did). ANd rear 4kq
strut cartridges or ur-q units for the front.
T's with Auto had G-54. Better than G-60 in my humble opinon.
Working on 944t caliper mod that should work beautifully with
stock rotors. E-mail me wiht questions.
Go coilover. Its great.
I also am running 2-piece 90q rear struts. 8lbs ligher per side
but requires some custom machining.
