That said; all things being relative, the DAS bar is, in fact, the most user-friendly and reversible roll bar in comparison to the other options - which often require drilling and/or welding.
Have the car in the shop currently so my install can be double-checked - we'll see what they have to say.

I'm thinking of going down a similar road, of lightly modifying my car, but nervous about doing it myself. I've got little mechanical experience and buyers over here really seem to prefer a raft of invoices from recognised Porsche specialists to relate to any changes made.
Maybe if I specify my own modifications, then have them applied to my car, I will get some of that my car feeling, even if the satisfaction levels won't be quite as high as performing the mods myself.
I have RSRs, 100 Cats, RS engine mounts, RS short shift, RS ARBs and RS top mounts on my list initially, along with a Wayne Schofield remap. When my clutch goes; RS clutch, fly wheel and tranny mount. When the discs need doing; RS brakes front and rear. Going to keep the body stock.
Anyone on here gone down a similar route in terms of these modifications on a 993 C2 VR NB? I know that Jackal from 911uk.com has done the same and his car is pretty much what I want to achieve, but he's done the work himself, which I'm very jealous of!
(Mark, I'm sorry to learn about Rudy passing away.)

I have the cats and the RSR's, seriously the RSR's are very easy (cat was on the car) its 4 bolts most everyone does it themselves. If you havent already, i would say a new suspension is in order, dramatic difference and all the other RS bits you have listed would be great in addition to it.
Personally, my favorite mod to date (since it came with suspension) was the recaro buckets, seriously transformed how the car felt and made me a better driver.
