The 993 uses either the 964 part or the WB uses a maximum of 22mm none adjustable. I am running RS adjustable bars. I could use the turbo front bar but it would be a smaller dia.
This is a great deal. The tires appear to be from 2016 so still good and the center caps are proper for the 964 and NLA from Porsche.
I sold a set like this not long ago with the hub caps and no tires for $4200. You can always touch up the missing red paint on the center caps.
Thanks Anthony! Yes, tires were put on when I bought the car in February of 2017, so they have about 2.5 years worth of use. I had no idea the colored center caps were NLA, maybe I shouldn't be selling these!

Are we talking about your narrow 964 or your wide car? If narrow: you're running a 993 front end, wouldn't a 993 RS bar fit and eliminate the need for spacers? If not, does the 993 use spacers from the factory?

You can get the colored centers in metal with the crest mounted to the cap with black lettered PORSCHE used late 94 and 993 era. The gold lettered versions are NLA Unless something changed recently. They used to sell for around $450 a set when they came up more often but lately you don't see them too often. To most it makes no difference but I prefer everything as original as it can be. Unless I decide to modify it myself Usually I keep all original parts I swap or buy a second and modify it if needed. My son might appreciate it one day.

The wide car. I am using the 993 parts on a 964 WB using the outboard settings up front and narrow trailing arms similar to the 3.8RS setup in the rear. I am not as well versed in 993 suspension although it is my understanding all the 993 variants including the turbo used the inboard settings and therefore won't help. There have been some adjustable sway bars for WB settings made over the years although I don't see anything but NB applications currently.

Ah that makes sense then. I have a 964 RS front bar and a 993 RS front bar for when my 993 suspension goes into my narrow body. Im guessing decision on whether or not to use the 993 longitudinals will likely determine the bar. I'm leaning against using them as I have too many wheels for the car already in its current width.
Working on a newly acquired 964 and looking for the following:
(1) Set of black sport seats, 4 way ok. But preferably 8 way and/or heated
(2) Set of rear seats in black
(3) Pair of rear 993 NB calipers
(4) Black sunvisors for coupe
(5) Stock secondary muffler
(6) Airbox lid (light drilling ok)
Front suspension upgrade: 993 setup for the front of your 964.
Front control arms, balljoints, uprights (NOT 993 RS) and calipers.
All used and in good condition. One front caliper has marks where a ham fisted mechanicc pulled the seals out, but they do not impair function and are not visible when mounted.
You'll need your hubs and new bearings.
800$ plus shipping at cost from Switzerland.
Selling a non air bag black wheel in excellent condition with optional spacer asking 395, A set of D90's with new tires in good condition for $600,
Also have a set of good condition Fuchs with tires, a CDR24 Radio and various other parts
That is a good deal but you will need 993 tie rod ends as well to make these work.

back in a 964. Will post more on that later but can someone explain the advantage to this upgrade? I always thought they 964 and 993 used the same control arms.
^^ there are slight changes to the control arms of the 993 vs the 964. IIRC they are setup for the 993 ball joint that uses a slightly different bolt and have a slightly different shape which I believe allows more caster adjustment but don't hold me to it.. Bill V would know best. The longitudinals make a difference and push out the front 12.5mm per side. The uprights are aluminum and save about 4 pounds per corner and offer radial vs axial mounting allowing the use of 993 or Big red/black caliper mounting without the adaptors. Pros and cons. Aluminum transfers vibrations as cast iron dampens them. Some say that it may impact bearing life more but I don't see that as a problem for most street applications.
