Alright... 4-5 Coats of VHT Yellow Caliper Paint are on... I'm waiting about an hour more before I put these black decals on and put a couple of coats of clear...
so far so good...

Called Darin at FD this afternoon...
After his consultation, I ordered PSS10s... should get them next week... Also ordered the stainless lines he sells... I owe him a picture since I have a midrun 95 993 where the brake line types changed... figured I'd do the 18 year old lines since I am there...
My passenger rear shock is fully blown out now and the car is **** for handling... the other three are threatening to go... all original Black Boge with SUV springs... I bought a sports car that feels like a baby buggy right now...
Time to get some stance and adjustability...
Next weekend will be my 2nd Xmas for the year...

Oh yeah I will put them on... I have air tools, need to rent a spring compressor, at Advance Auto, like I did a couple of years ago when I did the springs/shocks on my 635CSi... this looks to be an easier job on the 993... lighter parts, coilovers and not inserts...
I've never had coil overs on a car so I'm intrigued on the adjustability... I'll keep in touch Tony and let you know what I'm doing what night... Typically like to do this over several nights, so I remain fresh...
Night 1: adjust garage, get the car up on jack stands wheels off, look around, WD40 bolts
Night 2: Complete front and see how it goes
Night 3: Complete rears
Night 4: make height adjustments
Success working on cars, take your time, don't rush...

Thanks Boman! You also had a hand in inspiring me with your Fister exhaust videos and your new stance pics...
I was reallly impressed as well how impactful yellow calipers on an all black car improve the look and design of my 993... I always knew wheels were incredible bang for the buck in impact of design, but have been impressed at how nicely painted calipers in an appropriate accented color really make a difference...
I am only able to move so fast without mistakes and wasting money because of how this community so thoroughly documents these improvements... I only stand on the shoulders of giants...

Just a little tidbit, when you get there you will understand, jack up the engine a bit.
