This is a three step process.

1) Acquire Four Brembos (86 951 is ideal candidate)
2) Acquire 86 951 Steering Knuckles, Strut Assemblies:

3) INSTALL!

Wow, they look a lot better bolted up, don't they?

Also, don't forget you need to have the driver's side spindle drilled for your speedo cable (my machinist said not to worry about potential for "weakening" the part), and have the cap milled with a 5mm square to accept the drive end of the cable.

Number-sign-in sexy, you ax me.

how did you put the bias valve in?

i have an oem 951 bias valve but it doesnt look like it will fit without a 951 brake line.

It's been reported that no proportioning valve is needed with the "big" master cyl on 80 and later cars. . .I haven't driven it yet, so I guess I'll find out. With early toofah line routing ("X" split), installation of a proportioning valve would be a challenge. . .you'd need one valve for each rear wheel.

You didn't change to a front-rear split?

Is that M030 dampers as well or sleeved and repainted stock 951?

I had a set of 951 M030, Brembos, axles etc. and sold them before fitting!!

They are regular late strut assemblies, painted and with a coilover kit installed.

Thirdgenbird, your S does have a different line setup (TT, or "front/rear split"), as well as equal sized calipers front to rear and a stepped master cylinder.
