Default New suspension

Its all done, and its well better!
The car drives better, harder, sticks to the road better.
Inspires confidence.

Billstein shockers, eibach springs, poly bushes all round, and the Cosmo racing strut brace.

Allso had all the brake lines changed, solid and flexi,s.

The White Flash handles right! + the brakes feel a lot srtonger!

Ill post pics tomoz.
I think the car sits slightly higher than before.
But works a hundred times better!

The lower the better???

Mayb not?

There is something hot about a dirty 964 Shows that it has been used as designed. Not being rude about the state of your car, mine looks the same right now. Guess I will be freezing my nuts off washing it this weekend.

Love the black on white look.

That's what I like about Rennlist... its full of drivers with drivers' cars.

I'm saving my nickels for a suspension overhaul. Congrats on the upgrade!

Damn, that must have been going some, I've never dropped below 10 gals for 100 track miles, obviously need to try harder or an autobahn

Russ, looking good!! Now you've got me thinking about a nice carrera script (in black) for mine..............

Them wheels are very nice. But ill have to wait, the cash has dried up.

"boxsey" the strut brace is from canada. Its a copy of a porsche motorsport part, or so ive been told.
Even with importing cost less than buying in the UK.

"james" its the most money ive put into a car in one go, so iam still a little stunned! But it does work right and it will never need doin again. The car was crying out for new suspension.
