Looks great. Did you do a complete suspension makeover or just lower?

New suspension, ROW Mo33, shocks and springs. I have been down the Pss9 road with last C4s, great if doing track but this is road car and most roads are rubbish so the Mo33 is perfect.

What is "correct height" and how can I check it?

My car was lowered by previous owner, and front tires rub (slightly) in tight turns while either off-camber, or breaking. I've heard about "kinematic toe" too, but don't know where that kicks in.

What is RS ride height, and where is it measured??

That sounds like a really good deal.... Were they from a private sale?
Nice look BTW. My 993 is still a Off-road vehicle.

Nice thread,

I bought the ROW33 suspension too, springs and shocks from Sunset for $ 734.44 (no tax in Oregon), I picked them up on my way back from our "Snow-bird" winter in Arizona and California, so no shipping cost! Sunset could only get eight sets, I bought the second -to-last set.
Installation including rear sway bar links and rear sway bar bushings, and allignment was $ 1445.00, I took "before" pictures... now it is snowing (crap), so no "after" pictures yet.
I measured a lowering of 1" in the rear and 1 1/4 " in the front. I will post pictures later, when the real "bad-sledding" days start here in Calgary!

Cheers to all

Bert
