So, I'm a new '94 'big butt' owner myself. We should start a thread dedicated to the Turbo-Look 964 .... or is there one already?

Nice. I am not sure if there is a thread "dedicated" to the 964 Turbo-Look, but there are certainly many threads about them if you search on this forum. Mostly threads about current prices of the C4 Widebody though.

Once I get all of the parts, I will document the install and provide a DIY for those who want to do this conversion in the future.

Is this the correct NB Trailing Arm for the right side? I noticed the part # is different than you posted Greg.

Sent you a PM. The short answer is, I'm not sure. I would think any NB control arms would work, but we need someone with more experience to chime in.

Since it is a 964 number and not 965?it should be correct , I have a narrow swing arm set ready to mount but will have to check the number to be certain ...Bert

This shows up as being a NB swing arm although the PET shows 964 331 021 (022) 00. I have a couple of spare arms I will check what is on my car and what I have. I would be curious what if any differences there are.

Do you know exactly which brake lines? I am assuming the hard lines, but I haven't been under the car.

Something interesting... C4's rear hub and bearing are bigger than C2's. So, it looks like I need to order C2 rear hubs and bearings for the install.

Also, anyone have a set of C2 hubs they would be willing to sell to me?

Mr. Wolfe
I don't believe that is the case. The PET shows the C2/C4 and RSA all use the same rear hubs part number 964 331 065 06 Bearings are the same as well for all three.. They do differ from the turbo rear hubs which are part number 928 331 065 07. I have trailing arms from an RSA and a C4 both were identical as far as I could tell.
