2WD and AWD are different. Not sure if there's a difference between Turbo, C4S and C4 though.

You can use the beefier Turbo brakes and it has more robust wheel bearings IIRC.

Or, you can put some 6 piston GT3 calipers on. (just make sure to use dummy axle ends if you are 2wd).

no, turbo struts are at an angle to clear the driveshafts.

what you really want is a GT3 or GT2 spindle/hub carrier so that you can get the big brakes and not ahve too many other parts to change.

also the geometry is worse on the turbo vs. base c2 or gt3, again due to the necessity to clear the driveshafts.

Google posts about upgrading brakes and you will find tons of info
