Once you have that unhooked. You'll see the wires. Unplug the antenna from the booster. And then follow the lines down behind your stereo. Unplug. Pull out. And putting the new one in is backward to that...pretty easy all in all. I had heard horror stories. But no need to worry. Get to it!
To address this, I had Kingsbourne (www.beruparts.com) make me a couple sets of custom wires with 993-spec coil end connectors and 964-spec distributor end connectors to 964 length (21 inches).
I just emailed Kingsbourne for a quote. I'd much prefer this over my old leads with the modified coil ends to fit the 993.

Yes - it's definitely the right way to go. Make sure you get the cables made to 964 length (both should be 21") rather than 993 length which is too short.
Very interested to find out how we can get more custom made cables to connect the 993 coil to the 964 distributor?

You can order a set of your own! Contact Beruparts.com and tell them what you want - two 21" wires with a 964 distributor connector on one end and a 993 coil connector on the other. It may be helpful to explain it as a 1991 Porsche 911 and 1995 Porsche 911 instead of 964 and 993. Lead time (no pun intended) was about a week.
The possibility of getting this wrong is higher for us with international orders. It would be helpful if a Con US order could be made, checked for correctness then we could ask them to repeat the order for us. Has anyone already done that?

Yes - I am currently running these wires in my car. I don't have the invoice on me now, but I'll get the information off it and post it here. If I remember, the price was quite reasonable.
Very hard to tell. All of these cars are going through a complete transformation. The rigid collars being just one small component. Further they would only be apparent, I believe, way out at the margins...at the upper limits of the car. And even then, you'ld have to be measuring lap times, because you wouldn't feel it.
I think they are a good idea. I think they are an even better idea for cars with stamped steal subframes...our cars start with pretty solid robust stuff cast aluminum cross members and sub frames. Limiting any movement is a good idea. But there isn't much to begin with. And then when you tie them together with heavy sway bars, as we are, and then add rod-end links to the ends...there just isn't much more to do.
But that said. I believe that removing all the movement possible is a good idea, so I'll keep using them until I'm proven otherwise.
