No worries about the Rear suspension changes, I will find the article and post it.

read the whole thread here - i can't tell if i would need upgrade in this situatiion for tire life issues only, not overall performance.
looking at a NA car built august 94 so an early 95 993. i happen to have a set of 993 Turbo Twists that i know will otherwise work having checked various tire sizes on cars at my dealor. so, would this car need some kind of work to not eat rear tires? i hadn't seem a reference before this thread, but then again this thread seemed to dispel that work project of some shops.

if you cannot remember how the old Ferrari and Porsche horn sound,here is a part of No Man's Land, a movie any Porsche aficionado should watch.

The only difference is ease of regearing is due to the loose 2nd gear sets used in early 993 transmissions The transmission serial number breakdowns for the 2nd gear changeover, 3rd & 4th gear guide sleeve and needle cage updates are; G50.20 - 02693 G50.20 - 02174 (M220) G50.21 - 05072 G50.21 - 03094 (M220) 1 is fixed on all street, 2 from the above #S all the g50/3x series used in RS, RS/CS, Cup, RSR have loose 1-6 gears g50/20 is used on all US n/a 993 and on late RoW n/a 993, g50/21 has somewhat better gearing than the /21s, it's actually for the most part fairly close to the RS g50/31
I am a little confused by this statement. How do I tell if my 95 C4 has an early gear box with changeable 2nd?

That's subjective and I don't subscribe to that notion. Some people prefer 95s due to OBDI and no SAI issues. Also some of the earlier 95s came without immobilizer. The downside of a 95 for me is that it doesn't have Varioram and the third brake light towel bar looks ridiculous.
But the bottom line is that I'd buy the car that is in the best condition and not worry too much about model year.
