 strut/hub assembly of the 80Q vs the 4000Q that allowed you to fit the 993
 calipers? Does the hat depth place the Coleman rotor much further inward?

    No, the only real difference is the mounting bolt spacing.  The 4kq uses 
the narrower spacing, and the 80Q uses the bigger spacing that all type44 and 
such use.  Basically, the only difference is in the bracket.  I used a very 
small rotor offset of 10mm to clear the ball joint, the stock 30mm offset 
would not work with the rediculously thick 30mm rotors.  If I had 17" rims I 
could have used a larger offset because the ball joint would have fallen 
inside the rotor.  2B now has a big red kit for the earlier cars such as the 
4kq too if you are intersted.
