I'm just North of Ann Arbor on the Chain of Lakes and have PSS10's on my 993tt. Happy for you to come over & feel how they ride so that you can make a more informed decision.

Also - your signature says polar silver but your car says arctic..?

Regarding your clutch pedal pressure, check out the other thread about the MPL slave cylinder, that might be the answer you're looking for.

Congrats and welcome! Seems like there are quite a few new WB owners on the forum recently. Nice!
I have PSS10 and have been running it for the past few years in SoCal LA crappy roads without any issues. Also, another thing to consider on your "wiggle" issue... if you are still running the original lower control arm bushings you might want to change them out since the rubber deteriorates over time. I had sort of steering wheel vibration issue on mine when I first got the car and the new bushings solved that problem. Anyhow, it's all part of the fun in 993 ownership!

Spoke with the tech advisor at Bilstein and for my needs he s suggesting the B12 kit- It seems that this kit, which includes
springs, will lower the car to the ROW standard.

Any one running that set-up?

I believe that B12s are B8s with Eibach springs.

If you don’t want the adjustability of a coil over and want to save a little money I’d probably do the B8 with Porsche M030 springs. The B8 doesn’t have the floating spring issue you will have with Konis (though some say Konis are more comfortable)

Why are you suggesting the Porsche springs over the Eibach Springs which are part of the B12 package?

I've got Pss9's and Eibach black ROW height - the ride is great.

I'm just biased to Porsche engineered springs. Eibach is a good company. There is more experience with M030 in terms of ride quality, ride height and performance, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the B12 package.

I had this set up on my C4S and it was superb. If you don't need the adjustability of PSS10's, I think this is a great option. Plus you get to deal with Gert:
