That's the spring set up I went with. I gave up on finding a used set and purchased new from Sunset. They really weren't that expensive new and they had them in stock.

I have a 95 C2 coupe and I've decided to go with the M033 springs but I thought the issue with the FSD's in combo was not settled. This site is a font of information but I get dizzy trying to keep it all straight. Can the FSD's be used at ROW ride height? As an aside, this is my sixth 911 over the past 20 hrs and my second 95 993. I bought a new 09 C2S cab and after the thrill of the power wore off I found I didn't enjoy driving it near as my as my 993......so here I am. I will do my Avatar shortly. Thanks for being there....great site.

+1 on that. I'm about ready to buy the Koni FSD adjustables and was planning on the M033 springs, but now I'm not so sure....

If i remember correctly, Rennlist member" Renni" went with the mo33/koni fsd set up. He likes the set up and reported no problems. Do a search and you will find more info that a row set up with koni fsd is fine. Mike

I just purchased the M033 springs and Koni FSD's from Gert at Carnewal. Great price including shipping. I received them in 4 days from Belgium via Fedex. I have heard that the FSD's are a good match for the M033 Springs. Much better than the Bilstein HD's. I should have them on my car over the next 3-4 weeks (993C4S 1996). You might also check Paragon Products. They carry both the springs and shocks. Speak to Jason at Paragon. He just put this setup on his 993 and has been happy. Several others happy owners on Rennlist with this setup.

Thanks to all for the helpful and prompt replies. Jason had both shocks and springs in stock and they are on their way....what a nice fellow. Now I have to figure out which HID kit to install. I have read all of the posts and feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland. A little bit of knowledge may be dangerous but in my case too much is confusing. 35 or 55 watt, high beam only, or low beam only, or both. By the way I called my local Porsche dealer, from which I bought a new 09 and asked what they would charge to supply and install the shocks and springs and was told they did do that kind of work......Chris

I had M033s/FSDs installed last summer, and really like the combination.

I got them from Jason at Paragon; great guy.

In my last post I meant to say that the dealership said that they did NOT do that kind of work!
