$4.49 shipping kills the deal

 

not what I paid, I found it on ebay, and it was local. my shipping cost me = rental uhaul trailer- the thing is like 600 lbs.

the kool tool is from here....although I bought it elsewhere...I can remember!

edit- bought at...GermanAutoParts.com

I dont use impact tools on struts anymore after I wrecked a set of Koni's on my GTI once. Had to send them to koni to be rebuilt. they say not to use impact tools for some reason.

 

I would say that what you have done is a good start...certainly not where I would stop. But that's just me. The car does look great.

 

Hi Mark-

Just checking back in-any further review on the setup? I think I'm going to order the Konis this week while still on sale, although I wont be able to install for a few months while my arm mends.

 

Thanks for a nice write-up. I recently had Tif's Foreign Car in Annapolis do just this on my 95 C2 along with a corner balance and I could not be more pleased with the results. I was hoping the car would be a little lower with the 033 springs than it turned out but I had told Tif that low was not as important as right. The Koni FSD's are surprisingly compliant over small bumps but stiffen up nicely when pushing it. It was a vast improvement on track day. The fact remains that the perfect track set-up is unsuitable for the street and vice-versa. This seemed, to this old man at least, to be a pretty good compromise. Cheers.....Chris

 

I have found this setup to be great for street and spirited driving. The roads are far from perfect here in Dallas and I seldom find myself complaining about ride quality.

 

post auto-X shot. had a good day pushing the new suspension. happy camper.

 

Very nice improvement in looks. Good to hear the feedback. This seems like a good balance in ride and handling.

 

Looks great!

 

Looks great. That is the route I'll be taking.

+1. And every time I take my car out, it seems to get even better...

 

OK, OK.....I just ordered a set from Paragon. $896/set with free shipping, still on sale thru end of May.

 

Nice job. I am thinking of getting a PSS10 for my 993 too.

 

some more shots... thats me in there....grrrr



under cornering load

 

Nice job Cos!!
I took my 95k mile 97c4cab and went a similar route with HD's and the 033 springs.
So glad I did!!!!! Great height and great ride quality!!! Best of luck with yours!
