Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

Brakes, axles and CV joints are too weak. The typical fix for V8 conversions is to upgrade to turbo components. These are therefore rare, desirable and expensive to acquire. Even then the wear items are expensive to replace.

Porsche rear turbo brake pads $150-ish a set
Rear turbo rotors $90-200 each
CV Joint kits turbo $76 each

Mustang rear pads $56 a set
Mustang rear rotors $79 each
Mustang rear wheel bearing $27 each

But the Porsche power train and suspension sure have some beautiful aluminum castings!
