Thanks everyone for the advice, help, and feedback. Car has been dropped off to Joey to get er done. Will be ready next week. Everything I list previous and also what Spyrex recommended is going in minus the BBI Uprights, also waiting on the solid bearings after Joey pulls it apart. If the stock ones are shot then they will get replace if not he said it not a big deal and if I want to do them later we can and maybe at that point there will be another aftermarket upright available in 6 months. ( wink.. wink)

You got it. I'm planning on doing on next Sunday (check out Car and Coffee LA) There will be a drive from there around 8:30.

Good chance I'll let you know as I won't need them. Would love to sell them as a package put I'm open.

Thanks. Engine mounts already done... will do transmission when I replace the clutch... coming very soon.

I recently overhauled my 993, and the BBI uprights were a spendy but critical component. I'm hoping that the RS wheel carriers will be back in stock soon for the 964 suspension overhaul, but if not I will definitely be purchasing another set of the BBI uprights.
Don't be surprised if there is another aftermarket upright coming out

Sure there will be some bump steer if you lower the car significantly more than stock, but on the street, there is not enough of a bump steer issue at least on my car to make me want to run out and buy the uprights/brakes and my car is pretty low (lower than RS height). YMMV
Great advice and the same Joey gave me. Since I'm not a track hound yet not necessary but he ensured me it's not that big of a deal to add them later. The only real additional cost I'll be doubling up is corner balancing.

Suspension Done! Also installed Aero mirrors to. So far so good, the ride was great on the freeway coming home from Newport and then a quick tour up Glendora Mountain road. Handling is sweet and pretty cool how you can really power out of the curves now. Happy Customer of Emotion Engineering. Thanks Joey.

Nice... I think your car was on the lift when I picked mine up yesterday. Your car is super clean. Good luck with the mods.

Agreed. I've heard a few interviews with Joey and really like his philosophy and the way he thinks.

Very nice! If the slippery slope just begun, can't wait to see what you have in store for future mods!
