Looks great. The handling is so nice with this set up. Do you have Walrod bushings too? Recommended for crispness. Enjoy!

Congrats on the best mod period. Looks fantastic and the driving experience is better. On my second 993 I put PSS9's on it the minute it got to KS. It went straight to my Indy. Waited way to long on my first 993 and had no clue how improved the car drove after getting rid of the crappy Monroes.

Hey Michael, sorry for the tardy response. Yes, I went with the MO30 sway bars, and Perfect Power Strut brace. I also went with RS motor mounts...

It really tightened the car up.

The slope is pretty steep when you are just getting started....

That said, this forum is the best for opinions, technical data and help.

Beautiful- congrats on the best 993 upgrade money can buy. New stance looks great! I had my brother catch this shot of mine early Saturday-

Michael - I've seen Bob's (old red) car in person, and based upon the pics you posted, yours looks as great as his.

I've been in analysis-paralysis for a while now deciding between '10s and a ROW spring/bilstein setup. I don't track, DE, or AX, so I'm leaning toward the second option - but time will tell since this is one of my scheduled winter projects

Glad you are happy with the mod

^^^^^For me the biggest selling point of the PSS10s over the ROW/HD setup is the adjustability of not only ride height but most importantly overall stiffness of the PSS10s. More expensive but more likely to find an individual's best compromise in the ride department.

^^^^^ My dilemma exactly Timothy. I really like the adjust-ability, but the cost delta is enough to cover some needed parts for the other car - another winter project.

Is anyone here running the '10s without the larger ARB/sways (Michael I assume, anyone else)?

I've read installing the front is a PITA on the AWD cars . . .

I also went with PSS10s a few months ago... I've been playing with settings and I prefer 6 all the way around... i've tried the front being 1 less click but i have stock sways and the 6 all the way around is sporting and balanced.

Great shot's of the car Dukerdog - and the house in the back ground.
Luv the 993 when fittted with Cup II wheels. More betta would be the 18" Cup II which are an aftermarket rarity. Nice ride height.
