Will these CALIPERS fit an '87 944s?

I think they will, but you require a few extra parts...that looks like a nice score, and a good upgrade.

I think the ebay ad could use a few more pictures of them though...

What other parts? About how much more would i have to spend? Would I notice a difference in performance or would it be just a cosmetic upgrade? And lastly, woudl they look good with phone dial rims? (eventually looking to upgrae rims though)

You will need adapters for the front or replace the spindles and hubs. Tha rears go on with the correct spacers. You will also need Turbo/S2 rotors. The Nov. 2002 Excellence has an article on how to do this upgrade. You will have better brakes that will work better during an autocross or on the track, daily use won't show much difference. That is what I have been told. I just bought calipers like that off of ebay. My final bids (two different auctions for front and rear) equalled about what this guy has posted for his minimum bid.

You need turbo hubs and spindles and rotors.BTW I used the turbo brakes on my NA at the track a week ago and the performed very very well.Zero brake fade and I was able to keep up as far as braking goes in the corners with some other cars such as 911's and a few turbo cars. great upgrade.
