Question 1: Which 911s used the 4 piston calipers? All I found on pelican for calipers were very similar to the 914-4 calipers (weaksauce).
Question 2: What in the suspension needs to be changed to go to 911 brakes? In other words, are the control arms different, or just the spindles? I know I'll have to go to five lug, but I do know what all is necessary to do that.
Question 3: What size rims do I have to run to stuff say 911 sc or turbo brakes under them?
Question 4: Any other changes I would have to do to the brake system besides calipers and rotors? I'm already running a 19mm master cylinder.
Feel free to answer any or all. Thanks for any help.

964 (also known as Carrera 2 and Carrera 4) are 1990 through 1993 or 1994
944Turbo calipers are the same
You'll need to make some very minor changes on the mountingholes on the caliper
Use Carrera 3.2 (1984-1989) rotors

For the 911 struts, these come with a spacing for the caliper mounting bolts in 3" and 3.5"
Get the later ones 1978 through 1989 - SC or Carrera 3.2
Some earlier cars also had 3.5" spacing, but I'm not quite sure which ones... So be sure to check

I don't know your car's specs, but the 4 piston calipers may be overkill on a narrow bodied car
I'm pretty sure SC or Carrera 3.2 brakes would suffice
