Default 993 Carrera S with Öhlins Road & Track coil-overs


Replaced rhe totally hopeless H&R dampers. Now like a totally new ride. BTW, I upped height so the car isn't this stupid low any more.

Very cool. I dig it.

Do you plan on doing track events? Last I heard, those coilovers require a rebuild every x,xxx miles?

Road and Track kit won't require as frequent service as the Ohlins race dampers, I was told ~20,000 miles for the Road and Track kit.

Car looks great OP, I wish the R+T kit had been available when I was shopping for suspension kits for my 993. Loved them on a BMW 1M I had.

Nice! Even if not stupid low, it’s still pretty low. What ride height are you at in this pic?

Are those 19" LM's? Car looks great! I like the ride height and is about how mine was maybe a hair lower. Mine was rubbing in the front on turns so had to raise it up slightly. Please do a review on the new coilovers.

I put over 20k miles on my set much of that on track with my 997rs and the dampers were fine. No leaks. No problems.
Have ttx race on now.
Very good shocks
