The all important stance...
My plan is to get my Ocean Blue Metallic car to look like the 993 pictured below. I'm planning on doing 19" RUF's but I'm torn on the right suspension that will achieve this look:
My shortlisted options are going with either:
1. Koni FSD's with M033 ROW springs - no rear adjustment right?
2. Bilstein HD's with M033 ROW springs - more expensive (I can add a wing for the cost difference!)
Suggestions?

In 25 or so words..."Not possible without the GT2/RS knuckle and tie-rod thinggie or else you will get bumpsteer out the wazoo, plus the front end will scrape everything."
I see 993s lowered like this all the time...how do people achieve with shock & spring and still maintain a good ride? I'd like to know too.

I went with Bilstein HD's and M033...I didn't do the install myself, but instructed to use RS +10 to 20...I don't have a side shot but I think it looks pretty good. No bump steer...very nice ride.

Hi Cam,
That's my friend's car - Polar silver C4S, I know exactly what he's running as I'm running a very similar setup except with PSS10s. His car has RS coilovers (slightly below RS height I would est 10mm) w/Tarett toe arms.
We are running 19's w/7mm spacer on all 4 corners. The pic you posted was running Pzeros F: 235/35/19 & R: 295/30/19.
We both have switched to Hankooks V12 now with same tire sizes, much slimmer sidewall tire. No rubs or issues at all.
Here's some pics from a few different angles on my car. Good luck with your slope!
