Default Is there a writeup on installation of JIC in a 993?

Thinking maybe installing myself, then taking to the shop to setup, corner balance, adjust camper, align, all that.

Is there a definitive writeup somewhere, or installation instructions, including tools needed? I'm sure I'd need a few extra specialty items. The P-car writeup is a little geared toward the Koni / general. I'm looking for specifically JIC.

Also, anything I need to know about doing it that way? Any issues with installing and then taking to the mechanic?

Should be about the same install wise. Just the spring perch measurements & of course shock adjustments will be different. But they all bolt to the car the same way.

search for intheair's most excellent writeup.
it is NOT JIC centric, but i'll bet 98% directly applies to your needs.
his DIY was a sticky here.

i followed his DIY and drove 12 miles for alignment and CB with no issues.

Found it, thx!

Anyone know if there are any key differences with the JIC? Also, anyone have the Hazet parts
• 21mm Hazet® (or open sided) Socket – Part No. 2593-21
• 22mm Hazet® (or open sided) Socket

that I could borrow? I'll pay for shipping and all that...
