Default Pics of difference with RS/EVO uprights and GT2 Tie Rods vs. stock setup

So a lot of people wanted to see the difference. Well here is a before and after from a lowered 993TT (keeping the same ride height) with PSS9s. This car is not actually lowered too much (I left the side view pics at the office but will try and post it later).

You can see the angle on the before pic of the tie rod. It is angled up which leads to bump steer. The second photo is after and you can see that the tie rod is now almost parallel to the ground..... This is what you want...

John Gordon's car was the donor for this operation....

Yes, I know. Coming up on the one year anniversary of buying this car, and I’m close to 10k in improvements already...

Bob, thanks!

I am going to the California Speedway with PCA March 18-20 and then POC at the same place April 8-10th. Any chance you will be coming to either of those? Your car would love that track for sure!!!!! Come on, come down for at least one of them, ok?
