I think I might still use the disc spindles, so I can bolt the caliper straight to it, and eliminate the additional variable of a caliper adapter...

Anyone know if the 944 and bug flexible brake lines are the same length? Or close enough to interchange?

Just curious, because the DOT approved braided stainless 944 lines are cheaper than the...

Can the bearing spacer on the spindles method be used for an early 944 setup? Or is it only possible using late 944 hubs?

I have all the brake parts from an '83 944.
