Default Porsche 968, 968 Turbo and Turbo S differences?

I have read that the 968 has same chassis as 968 Turbo S. Does anyone know if this is true for the 968 Turbo RS also? Or was it reinforced in some ways?

turbo S is same as a club sport or a standard car. RS has welded in cage for reinforcement.

Do you have any information about brakes and suspension differences? from the standard 968 CS? I would think that Turbo S and RS both had larger brakes at least in front.

If you look at the beginning of this thread here it shows differences in the rs chassis.

Ah, yes, that thread! I want to point out that the turbo RS also had air jacks in addition to the roll cage, and that there was no sunroof in my chassis or in an RS chassis another one of our colleagues obtained. The last RS and first RS also had some bracing at the caster mount, which I copied when I started the work on my car. I'll see if I can find (or take) some shots of that. And, both an S (mine) and RS body/chassis/tub were sold on eBay . . .

Don't think there was a sunroof in any CS either.

CS could be bought without sunroof. M030 was also an option on CS and not standard equipment. Same goes for CS seats, an option Nd not standard.
