Default 993 C4S rear suspension versus 993 TT rear ??

Hi, I need tol replace my 993 C4S rear suspension (long story), not in an ax.

Anyway, would a 993 TT rear suspension be an exact replacement ? I assume the 993 TT sway bar back there is tougher than the 993 C4S.

Thanks

My understanding is that they are exactly the same.

The TT springs are a touch firmer.

C4S sway bar is 18mm, TT is 19mm.

Porsche beefed up the control arms in 1996 so that they're all the same for the turbo and non-turbo. You should check the Parts Katalogue PDFs for specifics like part numbers.

I was just thinking of that (control arms). I wonder if the 1996 993 C4S and 993 TT share rear hub carriers too ?

Thanks again

My Porsche dealer tech says the rear Side Section Structures (that the rear control arms go to, and the rear axle goes through, are the same for all the 993 models. I would think though the axle is different between the 993 C4S and the 993 TT ?

Thanks again.
