I was in a hurry and neglected to say rear wheel drive only. Steel synchros is a very good option for all 993 transm.

I do have steel synchros for 3-6 gears as well as steel shift forks. However 1st and 2nd steel synchros where way too expensive, so I desided to not to get them.

 

They are expensive but they are the ones that are likely to break if you spend a lot of time at the track.

Really! even if I never use 1st and only use 2nd once or twise per lap?

 

I talked to my mechanic about this and I misunderstood him to some degree. Yes the synchros are expensive (as is every thing Porsche) and yes they are a good upgrade if you are racing your car for several hours at a time (professsional endurance racing). For a Club car or DE events the stock synchros are fine. He said the 993 stock gear box is very reliable for the types of events most of us do and the gear oil never gets too hot unless you are doing 3 hour enduros and are really hammering the car.
Sorry for the misinformation.
