you also need slimmer struts to standard.
Right on, no worries on the struts as I'm building my own coilovers with MK1 VW inserts and Ground Control sleeves. :agree:

I'm running 944 suspension front and rear (the narrowererer early aluminum arms), so I'll probably end up having to graft a lip of some sort onto my fenders, kafer style. I'm surely not chucking out 6+ bills for glass fenders all around, I'll just make em wider myself and put that $ into more power.

Thanks for the answers, you two... I'll post up some pics of it rolling rough on the susp/wheels when I get a chance to play with it. In the process of moving right now, so it hasn't been getting the attention it needs. Soon though, soon.
