WTB: Set of original 993 Turbo springs
Well, now that I have settled on this side of the Atlantic for a while I'll be looking at finding a suspension that works better for me than the Eibachs.
Does anyone have a set of Turbo springs lying around that they want to part with? Perhaps even some shockabsorbers?

Hi Graham,
I think I have read every post on suspension set-ups in the last trhree years. Most Rennlisters have reported good results (for non-track cars) from combining RoW springs with Bilstein shockabsorbers, which is the way I want to go.
I don't use my car in a mode that would really take advantage of the PSS9 and I suspect H&R coilovers would be too low for my taste. According to the PPI last year I have Eibach springs with orig. US spec shocks now and the shocks are probably toast anyway after 35k miles. I have a problem with the low ride height of the Eibachs, I am just not carefull enough in daily life to keep front and rear from touching the street. Also, I really don't like the feel of the car over 160kph on the autobahn, very nervous, jumps a lot, probably partially coz the shocks are bad.
So, I am relying on the experience of Rennlisters for my choice of springs/shocks. Once I get that sorted, the nose comes off for a respray (it looks like a war broke out underneath it one day) and an FPB, together with new resistors for the fans.
Appreciate any input. Considering getting the whole set from Gert but curious if I could p/u springs from somebody who switched a turbo suspension to a coilover.
