In keeping with the thought of the thread, I was under the impression we were discussing street suspension, occasional autoX/De/track day; not fitting suspension for a dedicated track car.
My bad if I was off topic...

...But what the hell, you only live once, it's only money, and nothing is too good for your 993 baby. Don't forget to budget for a set of Walrods, while you're in there, and the alignment and corner balancing.
You might be surprised. The quote I got during the last group buy was about the same price as PSS10's at regular retail price.

Right. You'd be surprised at the crossover. Because you're dealing with real dampers that a pro shop can tailor. Yeah, it's kind of when you've got FU money. But aren't we almost getting there with the overall 993 ownership proposition?

On a group buy, how much can you possibly save from the low prices that are out there already? $200? Maybe?

The MCS two (2) way adjustable with N reservoir is awesome. On my NB 993, I run 700 front/900 rear springs. The car rides somewhat like an 04 GT3. If you have a street track car, you may want to dial back the springs a bit, say, 500/700. Changing the compression and rebound settings to 0 for the street, down 5 or 6 clicks from track settings does absolutely nothing. If you want a softer ride, get softer springs.

Also, the MCS are sold by our long time supporter Steve Weiner. He recommended 700/900 H&R springs with tenders. He also recommends EVO front uprights. This is an incredible set up.

Craig Stanton, pro-driver, drove my car around Buttonwillow Raceway last year. After 20 minutes in the car he's recommend that in the future, I could only two (2) things to the car:
1. Wash it,
2. Wax it.
He thought the handling was perfection.

The other thing that brings the suspension, read steering, alive is to downsize the stock steering wheel from 380mm to 350mm. With a 350mm in diameter wheel, you'll still have room to mount an AiM dash and be able to see the whole thing. You can get a 350mm aftermarket wheel with an air bag if you so desire. See www.carnewal.com I went with the 350mm Momo Model 30 with the quick disconnect from Rothsport in OR. Awesome!!! Had my guy put a button on the right for the horn, and a button on the left as a high beam flasher.

I'd be interested in a group buy.
