Default Finally installed my PSS10s

Yesterday a couple of friends came over and we installed a set of Bilstein
PSS10s on my C4S. The DIY went super smooth! No broken bolts, no
drama...Car looks AMAZING. Still have to adjust to 993 RS +10mm spec this
afternoon. For now, I set the dampers at 6 up front, 7 in the back. (I have
some reading to do on the subject)... Later, I'm limping over to the industrial
area close by to snap some proper pics of the new stance. But in the
meantime here are a few pics:

One of the assemblies when I first bought the kit in January... Yep, it took THAT long to get my *** in gear..


The workshop. Notice the super sick engine lid prop...USPS box. I think I know what the next project will be.


LOW. (too low..haha)


Last night, 230AM.

Very nice - you must be a professional photographer too. I need to come out to the Chapters GTA meet one day to see this.

Very nice. Glad it went smooth. Sounds like you have yours adjusted firmer than most (?) for daily driving. Let us know how that works out.

I wish I could be auto-notified every time Jakob starts a thread.

My eyes always leave happy!

Thanks! But, I'm not a pro photographer..lol..just dabble in Photoshop. I'll try to make the Chapters meet in 2 weeks, maybe I'll see you there.

Thanks! I still need to read up on optimum dampening setups..Good to hear that it may be too agressive for street driving. What are yours set at?

Sweet Jakob, I love my PSS10s more and more everyday. I'm jealous of your 996TT wheels, I<3 those wheels but, hey the metallic grey finish looks mean on gloss black. Are they from a 2005 TT? Correct me if im wrong but that darker grey finish only came on certain 996s.

Anyway, im looking forward to some more pix and have fun playing around with the dampening. I'm at 4frt and 8rr. Not far from my house there are some killer freshly paved country roads, basically a 993 playground..

hahaa ~sander
