Finally I had some free time this weekend, this is a rare thing for me with two small kids. I am also lucky to have a friend that works as a tech at a local Porsche dealer. The first thing we did was install the 993 motor mounts. Mine were shot and after seeing the thread on here about them I needed to get them done.

Here is a comparison of the old vs new. It actually makes a big difference when shifting.

Next up is installing the H&R Coils I got for the car, here are the last pics of it at stock ride height

Of course I forgot to take after pics and now my Porsche is sitting in the garage, if I have some time later on this week I will take it out for some pics. It does ride and handle much better, and I'm sure once I get it aligned and corner balanced it will be even better

I decided to do a paint correction on the car. I think my 964 was washed with a broom in the past. it's a little more work than I thought but it looks so much better.

Some in progress shots

It looks great with the new shoes! Brad is a cool guy and has built a ton of nice VW's and some Audi's. It's a good tuner shop out of Florida.

Looks really good! I really wanted that shape after a similar Speedline wheel for these cars. Did you special order? I didn't know they did Tarmacs in 5x130

Saw the photo of the new wheels on instagram, looks great! Love the clean simple look of the tarmacs, great choice!

Are they from the new batch of cast ones? You really can't go wrong with fifteen52 wheels, out of all the wheels I've owned (and it's been a lot, ) by far some of the strongest wheels out there.

They had a few of the new shipment come in with blank bolt patterns to cut them to your choice.
