Hi all...I have a 1990 944 s2, and I am wondering if the M030 calipers from a 928 S4 are a) a direct replacement for the existing calipers and b) worth the cost and effort?....Also, will a front anti roll bar from a 944 turbo (26mm) be a vast improvement over the standard 20mm ?....all help appreciated..

Great....thanks for that guys....and am I correct in thinking that in order to convert any 944/968 to Club Sport spec requires (just) the bigger brakes/anti roll bars/up rated shocks and springs?...

Is it really only a 20mm front AR bar on the S2 ? In any case just fitting a thicker front bar will likely make the car understeer more. AFAIK on the Clubsport MO30 was an option not standard.

No...my mistake!...its the same for the turbo/S2...so nothing to be gained there...

Well.... Now that's a can of worms.

Full CS spec would also include an LSD, rear wiper removal. On the 944 there are actually CS wing mirrors, manual adjust type from a 924.
Then you've got thinner glass etc...

M030 suspension - shocks and springs are only really sought after for perfectionists. If you want to improve the car then some modern alternatives exist including KW, GAZ, Koni etc...
Bucket seats - again the OE ones are ££££ and newer seats are lighter.
If your goal is to make a trackday/fast 944 then EMC really are the people you need to talk to.
Hi..cheers..I will give EMC a look up..
