yep - its not a difficult install, but we hit a few snags. total install/adjustment time was about 4hrs...forgot to mention, this was a used PSS9 kit, so we found the set-up to be too low when we got down on the ground...lol

Uhhmmm, easy answer: Karl Wilen aka PorscheDoc.

In all seriousness Jim is one hellava wrench. Looks like you boys had a good time. And I think this ends the the 993 SUV era of the Kansas City Wrenching Society.

Based on the weather around here you probably have plenty of time to get your alignment done before you put it through the paces on Road Lawrence.

P.S. Who is the dork in pic. #3?

LOL - yep, we started out with your settings and I couldn't hook up the rear sway bar, and we couldn't get the jack back under the car! i'm really happy with the stance we ended up at

Jim,
Congrats on the install, but what rally caught my eye was your Sony mini-component stereo system. I have the EXACT same unit on a shelf in my shop. Purchased new in '92 while stationed in Iceland.

Andreas - LOL, that was my wife's 1st stereo (she said she got it when she was in middle school) and its still with us! Karl and Steve were giving me a hard time because I don't have a HD flat screen in my garage like the rest of the kcws - car mods are just a higher priority than garage mods...

Looks great.

I am sure it was mentioned somewhere but if you don't mind me asking, what strut brace is that in the pics? and does it fit behind the carpet?

TIA

Congratulations Jim for joining the ROW height club. Aren't you going to miss going to local 4X4 off-roading club meets?
