'88 944 turbo to '86 944 parts fitment question

[Mmagus]

I found a gent who is parting one out '89 944 a Turbo and wonder what would fit on a non turbo 944? (as in the 86 I am looking at) Yes I know I know, getting the cart before the horse. lol

Anti Sway Bar Assembly 27 mm
Weltmeister Strut Tower Bar Brace
Koni Adjustable Rear Shocks
Koni Yellow Adjust Shocks Struts

Cheers all

Get a car first. After that, you'll spend plenty of time online finding parts for it.

Oh...i will...believe me. I have been known to shop the average female into the ground. I just want to look in the right directions.

I own a 1986 Turbo and the front Koni struts of a 1989 944 Turbo will not fit directly into a 1986 and that presume also applies to a 1986 944. The other parts might fit but you better wait and get the car first to directly check with an option to return the parts that do not fit.

Thanks Otto. Thats good information to know. I will try to avoid the temptation to buy things too early, its just so hard when you find a swaybar for under $40.

That's right... the hubs are totally different as this is an ABS car.
Cart before the horse? That would be the PC way of putting it.
87 and later is a different animal that earlier.
83-85 is the early car.
85.5-86 is a little of both...

Start hanging out with the 944 set at AX and bring a notepad... There's plenty to learn.
The best part of this club is being able to benefit from other's errors before confirming them yourself.

Will do. And thanks for the information and input. There was an extended portion of my life where I didn't ask questions and since that didn’t work out well, I made a conscious shift to just ask away if I had them. I do apologize if I have pushed the “question tachometer ” to the red line. I will try to watch for the yellow shift light before it hits red.
