83-85.5 use the single pot calipers with steel control arms(they are the same control arms as bug IRS, little more internal reforcement and different bushings for mounting to pan but other wise the same )
85.5-86 on the NA models of 944 the calipers are the same single pot sliders but the control arms are now sick alloy arms instead of steel(the bushing still needs to be replaced and these alloy arms will widen your track 3/4" on each side, but on a Super Beetle the front wheels stick out further than the rear wheels so that will fix it). On the turbo models they have 4 pot Brembos, very nice set up.
87 up same deal with the calipers but Porsche widened the alloy arms so now 3" wider on each side.
Its up to you which way you want to go all the rear set ups up above are over kill from wut I hear. If you look under the tech articles there are a couple on brakes, read them cause you got to do the front bigger then the rear, no Ghia brakes on the front and 944 in the back. Good luck!
