Ok Guys, Im gonna set you straight here. The 76-82 924NA and 924Turbo and 83-85 944 use steel A-Arms. These are dimensionally the same as A1 arms. In 85 1/2 Porsche went to the Aluminum arms. The aluminum arms are only 2 pounds lighter a side, and they give you a whacked out offset (Porsche added 25mm to the front track width, via the a-arm, for ABS) Also, the Porsche aluminum arms use a non-replaceable pressed in ball-joint. There ARE companies that will rebuild them, but it is about $150 per side. I dunno about you, but I would way rather have the $12.00 A1 ball-joint. In fact, many 944 guys swap-back to the steel arms, as they are more durable. Thanks.
