Hello

Sorry I saw this a while ago and forgot to reply.

I've fitted the early 944 brakes to my 1302 and use cookies (early offset) under standard guards.

I've got some photos here

Effectively I cut 25mm out of the 1303 arm and boxed it in, then i used a 1302 swaybar, which is narrower. I also used a spherical ball top strut mount and small diameter coil spring to bring the struts inwards.

Unfortunately I stuffed my measurements up a little so I don't have as much camber on the front as I'd like (1 degree max, even with the topline camber plus kit).

What I'd recommend is getting the camber plus kit, moving your strut tops inward as far as possible and seeing if you can get away without cutting the lower arms - just use the camber plus kit to bring them in-board a little.

What hubs are you using? The 944 ones have more positive camber than the beetle ones so watch out for this.

Good luck.

Cheers
Jeremy
