Will turbo shocks and disc's and calibres bolt straight on?

Depends What year Turbo suspension pre 86 or after? and what wheels your running..?

There are 2 different wishbone lengths and wheel offsets,

I'm assuming your talking about changing the whole Strut / Stub axle / caliper assembly?

keep the early offset....it's a better drive, lighter and with none of that ABS crap....drive by the seat of your pants....far more fun and makes one a better driver too.....if the ABS comes on.....you've not braking properly and thus taking longer to stop....IMHO of course...:)

Lol, so the advantage it gave isn't why they banned it in F1 ? I'm guessing you've never braked on a diesel spill one dark wet night...

Actually, I have...well not in the dark but yes have encountered diesel, both in the car and on the bike(not a nice experience) .....ABS will help an inexperienced driver but it still won't stop you if you're driving too close to the car in front. Best to try and drive around if space allows than braking, assuming you've seen the signs of diesel in time.....I did get out of the car once having stopped on diesel, wet road too...I could hardly stand....best install some sort of gyro on my body...:)

You can brake and steer with ABS Pete. My bike has got switchable ABS and traction control, after 40 years riding it's interesting to wind on the power hard exiting a bend without any fear of unsticking the rear. I had the ABS switched off a while back, braked hard and was surprised at the 60 mph stoppy I did [:D].

 
I can see how ABS could benefit a lot on a bike...I lost mine on diesel once although I doubt that ABS would have helped me in this case...I was winging it around a roundabout at the time...no chance of any braking....one second I was there, next gone......:)

 
They will fit... But your wheels might not afterwards! Seriously, I can't think of a way of telling without back to back photos of the two, or part numbers of the stub axle. I speak as someone who got it wrong once (on picking up parts, fortunately not on fitting!)

I prefer non Abs cars as well... ABS didn't save me on many occasions (my daily S2 has Abs) and I prefer the feel of the car on tight corners without.

 
looking at the top mount doughnuts I would say 'no'...they look like the later type...I'm no expert on NA cars though..can only say what I see...

Pete

edit;...actually if all of the parts are there for the later offsets then yes it should....perhaps others who have done this mod can shed light,,

 
Tyres and brakes are 2 things I don't scrimp on, and a set of pads and discs are cheap enough from CP4LESS.

Will they fit my 86 2.5 then?

I need new disc's and pads and dust shields anyway.

You have exactly the same calipers on your car now, they are not from a 944 Turbo.

I hope you didn't buy these? the shocks look rough.

Just buy new discs and pads for your car, or even refurbished Calipers if they are also seized, leaking etc...
