Default Porsche 993 Turbo S full detailed factory specs & difference with Turbo

Details of the Turbo S and differences with Turbo.
sweet revenge...
We could see that the body of the Turbo S was reinforced at strut domes.
(all 993 gurus will publicly deny you if you said this before, now there will be blood, and book addendum's)

To start, here is the factory to dealer brochure:

The Technical ROW Turbo S sheet with factory detailed differences with ROW Turbo.
Basically, the ROW Turbo/ROW Turbo S difference was not only horsepower and cosmetic, chassis is identically reinforced like ROW RS together with strut dome seam weld reinforcements.
Alignment values are unique to Turbo S, or ROW RS +5

To note that a quantity of New Turbo S cars were Turbo cars and upgraded with option E49 at dealers around the World and carry the numbers M64.60 S N. To be noted for a Turbo S buyer....

"Special Chassis-vehicle lowered by 15mm"

Was this lowered considered RS height or a point somewhere in between USA-RoW-RS?

Great stuff! This is obviously the ROW Turbo S.

IIRC, the 15mm lower ride height was in reference to the standard ROW Turbo, itself lower than a base ROW 993.

Great and comprehensive information - well done

It is great to see the PET details for the X73 suspension kit 000 044 500 02
which was fitted to the Euro Ss, this kit as you can see from the PET was very comprehensive, I bought the complete kit back in the late 90s and yes it came with weldable plates for the strut domes and cost a shocking $12K
The springs and shocks in the kit were way too firm for road use and Bilstein PSS9s are the natural replacement. Anyone who has driven my car is always blown away by the handling it makes the car into a 4WD GT2/RS
