I will have install pics in about 2 weeks. For driving impressions, well, I'm probably 4-6 weeks before the alignment/corner balancing is complete. However, HD/M030 or PSS9 have been installed on many cars here and everyone raves about them--albeit differently.

Jeff - don't know if you're keeping a tally but order option 3 earlier this week. Let me add my thanks to the choirs of others who are grateful to you and VB for putting this together.

Jeff,
Could not resist any longer, and so just ordered option 3 from Bob. Thanks to you, ViperBob and all the participants for making this group buy possible and such an incredible success. Looking forward to the install pictures!

Here are some of the torque numbers for the suspension. I am updating my install info, but as a number of you already have it I wanted to make it available.
Torque Settings for 993 Suspension Install
Front Axle lb-ft (Nm)
Strut to Wheel Carrier
Upper Bolt (Camber adjuster) M12x1.5 88 lb-ft (120 Nm)
Lower Bolt M14/1.5 147 lb-ft (200 Nm)
Spring Strut mount (upper shock) to Body M8 24 lb-ft (33 Nm)
This is the factory manual setting.. Be Careful here though. The mounts have soft studs that have fatigued a little with age. MANY times when torquing to spec you can snap a stud. You may want to consider doing a slightly lesser torque (especially if you have a strut brace).
Spring Strut mount to piston rod M14x1.5 59 lb-ft (80 Nm)
Stabilizer bar
To crossmember M8 17 lb-ft (23 Nm)
To drop link and drop link to wheel carrier M10 34 lb-ft (46 Nm)
Rear Axle
Spring Strut mount (upper shock) to Body M8 24 lb-ft (33 Nm)

Spring Strut mount to piston rod M12x1.5 43 lb-ft (58 Nm)
Stabilizer bar
To crossmember M8 17 lb-ft (23 Nm)
To drop link and drop link to shock mount M10 34 lb-ft (46 Nm)
Toe arm locknut M12 63 lb-ft (85 Nm)
Toe arm eccentric locknut (get tight as possible. M12 74 lb-ft (100 Nm)
Hard to get a torque wrench in there)
