Hate to ressurect a long dead thread, but I'm just getting into the upgrade fresh after stumbling onto a dead early 944...

The Omni was just a literally slightly scaled up copy of a VW Golf, so I don't see an issue using teh ball joints if they fit, they likely came from the same factory.
(Many parts are actually interchangeable, the early Omnis even had had 1700cc VW engines in them)

The Mk1 Golf ball joints appear like they could be easily turned on a lathe for a press fit, but if the Omni ones work dimensionally, they may very well be precisely what Kerscher is selling for ~$80 a pop. (For a $12 item available at any FLAPS)
I will be checking them out.

I'm also curious if a Golf strut would work...

The rear Golf springs are about right, and rear Porsche 914 springs as well for use with the 944 struts.
