Looks awesome, Jakob. The ride height adds that final touch of completion.

MUCH better!

Sander -- Thanks for the comments on the wheels! I love them too! Actually,
I instructed my powdercoating shop to do a dark silver like the 996TTS. I
even chose a paint chip I felt was really close. A "miscommunication" led to
this gunmetal/bronze look! But it was truly meant to be, I love how it
compliments black on cashmere..flows so well!

I'll post more pics..actually we shot the whole thing, so stay tuned for a
video sometime soon.. I'll try out your dampening suggestion! Thanks!!



Thanks Cam! The meet is at Chapters rear parking lot across Queensway
from Sherway Gardens Mall..It always starts at 10am until people get bored
(1pm-ish).. I'm taking off to the cottage this weekend, so I'm missing it this
4th. Are you around for the following Sat Aug 11th?? Also, I get together with a few guys in
Oakville on Thursday evenings for some cruising! If you're around (Aug 9) maybe you
can ride shotgun?

Phil, no doubt!! Thanks for the setting heads up..I might just dial down to
5/6 and see how the car behaves..Bigger fish to fry at the moment; need to
book myself in for an alignment.

Thanks!! Agreed! It was pretty easy to make an already dead sexy car even sexier!!

Thanks!!

Any chance your cottage is up near Gravenhurst? I too will be at the cottage from the 2nd until the 8th I believe...I'll double check.

are you going to tint it?

NICE pics!

maybe it is the angle of the photo, but the camber on the rear tires looks strange to me in the 3rd photo. looks like it might even be "+"

also, you have a HUGE "B"!

Cam, close but "Canada close" ; a few hours for sure!!..lol. I'm going to be
out in Pointe au Baril just outside of Perry Sound. Decided against bringing
the C4S on this trip. Keep me posted about the following week..

Nah...the coppers around these parts can get their panties in a bunch over
such a heinous crime!

Quite possibly, the car is still in need of an alignment and corner balance.
The current settings were perfect for the stock Jeep height..probably out of
wack now that it's basically laying on the ground..LOL

YEP! B for boman993!!

dont let the cops be the boss of you! I ran dark tints in Toronto for 6 years with no issues... no i run dark tints + no front plates in Seattle - no issues!

FFFFRRRREEEEDDDDOOOOMMMMM!!

Jakob I was going to ask you...when you were planning to put them on looks Awesome!

Jakob,

Do you actually feel a click at each setting on the shocks? I have PSS-9 on my C2S and have always found that adjustment was like guess-work. The "click" is almost imperceptible.

Knight

I've had PSS9s before on my 987 and it didn't have the numbers to reference your adjustment, also did feel like guess work too.

PSS10s on my 993 and yes the clicks seem to be much more precise and distinguishable.

Jakob - Car looks sweet. Also try these setting too (F: 6 / R: 4) +1 or so if you want a tad stiffer. My local racing shop set this up for me with my last alignment, seems to work very well, even though I noticed most here have the opposite.

boman993

LOL...I think I'd rather just fly under the radar with that stuff!!

Thanks Nick!! And, yes man, we totally have to hang out and talk 993s! One
day our schedules/stars will align, I promise!!

Richard, Yes, there is a definite "click" when you turn the ***** through the settings
on my 10s. Maybe your 9s wore out?!

What's funny is Bilstein's positioning of the adjustment marker (the red dot)
on the rear shocks! There's no way you could ever see the position without
using a small mirror or iphone camera on "facetime"...Someone wasn't
thinking that day in the R/D department.

Thanks man!! The settings have been noted!!

Richard C2S

Jakob,

I doubt that anything has worn out. Mine never had an adjustment (red dot) marker. And, never had anything more than faint, almost impercetible "clicks". It was easier when I did some track events. I just cranked them to full firm, which is also weird as that is #1 on mine and full soft is #9. Very counter intuitive.

TIP: Loose\rotating end link mount points.. i used a sharpie to mark where they are installed... so i can tell if something is moving everytime i take off a wheel.
