How do you know if the two will mate? If I get the KW V3 suspension for my 944 and I get Camber/Caster Plates from Ground Control and the top of the suspension and the plates are both 60mm, will they work?

I am considering a full suspension rebuild on my 94 968, with Motion Control Suspension struts and RE camber plates.

I have a full set of MCS struts and rear coilovers (non-remote) I got from Karl at Racer's Edge. I was going to put them on the S2 to replace the Konis, but I think I may leave that car alone and put them on the 951 instead since it has original (tired) parts. The MCS stuff looks amazing. If you go with MCS I'd definitely like to know how you handle mounts for brake line, ABS connector and brake cooling deflector, all of which attach to stock struts and those attachment points are not on the MCS units.
So, I purchased an extra pair of 2-1/4" ID lower spring perches, my thinking being I could thread those all the way down, drill some top-to-bottom holes and attach the ABS connector and brake like with Ty-wraps. Not sure what to do about the brake cooling deflectors; maybe install a cooling duct kit, or I may look into having some aluminum brackets machined to mount these various items, but those could be costly?
Cheers.

It's hard to say how much the camber plates affected the harshness since I installed them at the same time as my M030 type double adjustable Konis with 300 lb/in 2-1/2" ID Hypercoil springs. I also have 18" wheels. I don't think the plates affected the ride so much, but they definitely added some NVH, but I'm used to it now
The camber plates definitely keep things aligned better.

The 968 has the front brake cooling scoops mounted on the control arm IIRC. As for the brake fluid line and sensors - I had not even thought about that. I do like your idea though.

Tom: Great to see you active on RL again. Your car and website was a go-to reference for me when I first got into these cars 20 years ago.

Ha, I haven't touched my website in years. Don't even think I have any suitable SW to modify it; need to check. I really only keep it active for my email.
Coincidently, I do have a set of the 968 deflectors that attach to the control arms. I was going to put them on the S2 since it has 968 control arms. Not sure what version of control arms are on the 951, but I think they are a mismatched set of something, which was the only thing available when my son had them installed (the 951 was his until he gave it to me... so I could spend all the money on it!).
In the 968 PET, Illustration 402-00 there is item 22, "air guide." Do those attach to the strut like the 944 air baffle plates?

You'll be fine with them, they're quality pieces.

I've spent the last 17 years working on the house and not the cars, so have not been very active on the forums. Now that the house is pretty much finished (will it ever be?), and I'm retired, I have more time for the cars, and frankly, more disposable income ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I just snuck my phone under the car and took this picture. There’s a piece that attaches to the control arm, and a scoop that attaches to the strut.
