subtle differences between 944na and 944t
What is the difference between the koni yellows for the 944na and the 944t?
In Tweeks the front na koni yellows costs $239.99 (404-137) and the turbo cost $559.99 (404-137). The rear costs (na) $139.99(402-399) or (turbo)$559.99(404-138).
I also saw the headlight flippers, the metal cover. For the na they seemed bigger than for the turbo - na headlamp doors $34.99(404-767) turbo headlamp doors $179.99(404-771.) How different are the front ends of the na and turbo?
What are other subtle (maybe unoticed) differences between the 944 na and turbo?

The only use I have for tweeks is their nice full color catalog to reference parts that I order from Paragon. <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />

I don't order from them, I was just noticing the difference in the parts between the turbo and na.
I wanted to know what the differences really are between things like the headlamp covers and koni shocks, etc.

The price difference between the sealed conversion inserts and the normal inserts (Koni Yellow) is only a few dollars.
As with the 88 951S and 89 951 (and some other M030 equipped models), the struts and shocks are hugely different, and usually fetch a much steeper price.

The headlight covers for the na and turbo are indeed different... as is the header panel.

Good Luck!
