RS splitters up front would look nice. I dont feel there is too much to be gained with headers.

Otherwise, the list is wide open

RS short shifter and motor mounts, both very good bang for the buck.

If I remember right I think you will need the control arm, part number 993 331 043 00......I THINK! I would call sunset porsche to confirm requirement and order 800-346-0182.

Good Luck

Cool Great to see someone go after it...

You will love the 993.....

I see the 993 Aerokit 1 on your tail. As Chris mentions, to balance the car you should consider the Aerokit 1 front splitters. I recently acquired an Aerokit 1 tail have it installed. In the front of the car, I have 993RS splitters...they are staying....The are some trick spoilers available for the front end; I just bought a set from Gert at www.carnewal.com The splitters come as a set:

One (1) of the 993.505.525.01 (Goes across the front in place of the front protection bar.
One (1) of the 993.505.526.01 (Appears to go on the drivers side)*
One (1) of the 993.505.523.01 (Appears to go on the passenger side)*

I will bolt these up to counter any downforce produced by the Aerokit 1 rear spoiler. Very trick parts...never knew they existed until about a month ago.

*Assuming a US car with the driver on the left side.

Car looks sweeeeet! I always like the look of the red ones even though clearly it goes without saying, the black ones go faster than all the other colors.

Is that the car that was advertised forever and had something in the description about being a PCA member's car?

I've had both the RS splitters which pretty much bullet proof. The GT3 three piece front spoiler is also a factory part if you can still find it. Nice looking but a bit more difficult if your lowered on the street.
