Hi guys

just changed suspensions and control arms on the car, but I still feel it a bit whobling...is this the correct height for this setup?

thanks!

You didn't mention if the car had an alignment. If not, that is a critical step in handling for 993s.

Hard to tell from your pics regarding height. What height are you aiming for ROW? Check your measurements at reference points and see ihow it compares to specs.

Thanks!! Can you indicate me some measurements chart?

Thanks

Can the b8 height be regulated in any way? Thanks

i had a similar post from last week that should only be on page 2 or 3. I found the B8s to have less height adjustability than the B6 (with extra threads which I had on my other 993). To that end, my plan is to remove the locking collar on the front shocks and bring to front down as low as the B8s will allow (should be somewhere slightly above RS I would think). Then I am going to adjust the back to get the appropriate rake based on the factory reference points since there appears to be a greater range of adjustability with the rear shocks.

sure.

Thanks a lot 95_993!!! Fantastic chart!

Skl_2, thanks for the info...where you able to lower the car?

Thanks

Credit goes to Bill Verberg...I think. I saved it a while back.

I will let you know this weekend...planning to finish everything on Saturday, but I see no reason why I wont be able to. Stay tuned.

Do you have any safety concerns to let only one collar, bottomed out on the thread support the front spring? Is this an approved install method by Bilstein? Maybe it is and I haven't seen it, but just thinking about it spooks me out a little. I'm imagining hitting a large bump at 70mph. The other thing is, your shop will lose the ability to corner balance the car if the fronts become unadjustable.

I guess I am not...I don't see it any different than the bilseins or any other shocks without height adjustability. Right now its set all the way down anyway...I just happen to be removing what amounts to a spacer. I have spoken to a few people who have done it and had no issues.

My 993 is a street car....for spirited sunday drives and PCA stuff. It has 30k miles on it. If I were racing it, I would have an entirely different suspension that could be perfectly set up, including corner balancing, but Im not as concerned given its use. I agree with you that I am limiting adjustability. For my purposes, this setup is 100% better than stock, allows for heigh adjustability and I know I can get a good alignment out of it because its my second time doing it.

I still feel the car very wobbling on fast corners... Should I feel the car more planted if:

1- I lower the set
2- substitute the M033 by the M030?
3- if I go number 2, should I change anything else other than the springs?

Thanks guys!

Question on the alignment chart.....

For RoW M030 (and other non rs-cars), the chart shows 17' wheels. Do any of the spec's change with 18" wheels?

Thanks!

hi again guys

After analysing the chart the car is a ROW and is with the USA height!!!?!?

What could have happened?

What makes the different heights in ROW vs USA? The springs?

Thanks

Pc007

Hi guys

Any ideia on what makes this height difference? ROW vs USA?

Thanks
