Running out of ideas...
I have been trying to find a pretty much complete '86 944T suspension to put into my '83 944. I need/want it for many reasons, mainly the wider variety of suspension upgrades available for it. Would appreciate any help...I've emailed Oklahoma Foreign twice but after two months I doubt they are going to write me back. I've talked with Skip and he said that I will be able to use my exsisting control arms, so those won't be needed. Also, I'll need the transaxle from the same (same year) car. Makes you wonder why I didn't just get a Turbo doesn't it? Oh well, I'd still do the same thing to a Turbo anyway.....

you *do* need to do more www research though... that stuff is out there!
doing the same thing to my 83, except that i prefer 89 turbo m030 spec instead (i know, the wheel offsets aren't the same but who cares).. get a complete parts list ... speaking for myself, more research is needed!)... this stuff is more fun when starting with a rolling chassis.

Excellence has even more resources, check in the back of the mag.
+ plus there are european sites (if you're not partial to shipping) for example, vanzweeden in holland (YMMV).
