Did you guys notice that the #'s provided by Martin (who graciously shows M. Schacht as the source), suggest the 993TT rear springs are softer than US base suspension, which is remarkably similar to M030?

I don't mean to belabor the issue, but this is my point. Someone 'hears' something, someone else posts it, 10 other people reference it, and no one seems to notice that it wasn't right in the first place.

BTW: the base & M030 #'s in the first post are correct. They match what's provided in SAE 940861 (great read if you can find a copy).

Ain't that the truth, which is why the internet is referred to as the greatest source of unconfirmed information.

Default Just an old spread sheet laying around...

...it was the best info I had at the time, some of which was gathered with a yours truly on a spring compressor. If it doesn't come from the Factory Cup Car or Bill Verburg, don't believe it...don't believe me either...

Viken, now that was back in the day. That guy had a huge knowledge base.
