Brake Dust Shield Alternative
Being in need of new brake dust shields for my S4 I'm looking for alternatives, driven by the Porsche price of circa £94 each for the fronts in the UK.
Whilst the 944 turbo shields are only £15 each.
From what I can gather the brake discs and calipers are the same between the 44 turbo and the 28 S4, but not the hubs.
From the pictures I can see that the mounting holes aren't the same, but that's an easy fix. Anyone either tried this or own both types of car and can measure them?

The front suspensions are very different.....944 being struts while 928 is double a-arm may have clearance issues with the upper ball joint. 928 International should have good used rust free shields just depends on how much shipping $$$ is involved.

I looked on 928 Int website and couldn't see brake shields listed, but shipping is usually the decider.

You could also try to contact Paul Anderson in Stroud, Gloucestershire to see if he can help you out if shipping costs/duties from USA are a bit steep.
