WTB several parts--Advise needed
Can anyone give me some advise on where to buy the items listed below at very decent prices for my 993TT. I would prefer one single supplier for all to save on shipping costs. BTW if anyone has any of these used and great condition, I would consider it too;
GT3 seats (no need for OEM), other sport seats considered too.
lightweight Door RS panels for electric windows
Adjustable suspension setup (JRZ 3 way adjustable or other for street/track use)
Roll bar ( one that can be assembled with bolts for easier shipping)
Aluminum or CF dashboard set.
Rear carpet (rear seats removed)
Appreciate your help.

Jean, try carnewal.com for many factory bits. Gert is a super guy! I sure wish our dollar would get stronger

Hello Jean,
For most things, I agree with Gert Carnewal. Does good work for me!
Re the cage: I have a full FIA cert Heigo installed in my car with six point Sabelt also FIA cert. All bolt in type. Got the car with it installed but does not look like rocket science to me. Prob DIY.
The cage side bar is not obtrusive surprizingly. The belts are not meant for trips to the grocery store though and a skirted female will show lots of leg (also good) or must wear slacks.
If you want more pics, I'll oblige.

Thank you guys
I have dealt with Gert in the past, yes he has very good stuff. The Euro is a killer though.
Monique, nice roll cage, I will check out Heigo, I saw them once and they seem to be what I am looking for. Other than showing some leg, Is the harness uncomfortable for you?

Jean,
Do you have a good mechanic who knows how to set up a triple coilover system? The double has enough variables to get most people, myself included, into a ****-twiddling frenzy of confusion.

Mark,
I will check with a couple of technicians flying over to install my engine from Switzerland to see if they have done it before, locally the Porsche dealership wouldn't know how to setup a stock suspension.
Never tried the triples, are they an overkill for a reasonably fast track driver in Club races?
Thanks for the watchout, appreciate it.

Jean,
I was told the double adjustables were just fine for club racing. If you have another racer you trust who can set up (ie adjust, as opposed to install) the suspension for you and give you some guidance for other track conditions, maybe the triples wouldn't be too confusing. I originally thought about getting the much pricier triple Motons since it seemed I had this habit of moving the 993 along in baby steps (read: PSS-9's) when I, if I had a crystal ball, would have seen that I should have taken a giant leap with remote reservoir shocks in the first place.
