Badeu:

i would NOT advise you to put peugeot parts on your porsche....shit can happen...peugeot parts were designed for peugeot and porsche parts for porsche...they were also tested...you cant know what weak spot will remain un-covered when you do that conversion...and one of the parts may fail...and you dont want your braking system to fail.

Just find some 944 parts...i know its hard in france....all you guys know is renault, peugeot and citroen

you forgot a lot of good manufacturers ( venturi, bugatti ... )

concerning brakes, there is two problems

the first is the price, i know a lot of place where to obtain 944 brakes, but just rear conversion ( without pads and discs ) cost nearlly 400 € and disc brake systems from 405 must always be better than drums.

the second is the bolt pattern, i don't want to change all wheels to five holes because i have very clean wheels actually.

so if 405 breaks fits and do their job it's a good alternative to drums
