No, you can not use the 944 control arms (which are actually from a VW Rabbit, for 83-85 944). The combo of parts are: 1303 control arm, tie rod & end, and strut bolted (via a Kerscher 17 mm ball joint) to the 83-85 944 steering knuckle (spindle) with brakes.

The near perfect weight distribution of the 944 has nothing to do with the suspension but rather the fact that the (Audi 5000) transmission is mounted in the rear of the car and the engine (Volkswagen LT Truck) is mounted in the front.

Mysticle31, don't take this the wrong way but you're going over board a little, and there is nothing wrong with that if you have thousands of dollars and mucho time along with a full shop and plenty of knowledge. This German Look thing has been around for about 10 years and these methods have been proven to work. Keep it simple, bolt on a few 944 items to upgrade your suspension, otherwise just buy a 944... and I do mean that in a sincere manner.
