probably best to do a search. these items have been covered in great detail in other threads and would be tough to capture it all here. here is an overview though.

T1 or 944 springplate bushing can be used. just two different methods to the same result.

use the 944 springplate. it has all the adjustment you should need.

consider swapping to 944 torsion bars, but not required.

replacement of the inner bushing to T1.

shocks...a fun one. several methods out there including reaming the lower shock bushing to 14mm, using a step bolt to go from 14mm to 12mm, and the route i went (from VeeDub Customs one of our sponsors) was to have a new bushing made for the shock with a 14mm sleeve.

you will have to clearance the shcok tower some for the springplate.

you will need 21" axles. several options here since the T1 tranny is 90mm CVs and the stub axle of a 944 is 100mm. can go with a 21" 33 spline Porsche axle so you can run both size CVs. or go to T181 output flanges on the tranny and run a Porsche axle with 100mm CVs on both sides. think someone is also making those output flanges from billett.

i (and boygenius) am overdue on pulling together a tech article on the conversion..or one way to do it. in the meantime just do some searches. i think one of the threads was "Why T181 Flanges".
