LOL thanks! Ah they're just super rare in terms of 993TT's but James etc.. has done loads of them in the past. A lot of our friends have them too. Heck I've had a 930 myself which goes way back

hi martin you're right although it will still actually move/pop out even that way. They just turn if as you say it's still not the right geometry. The 10s provide a newer rear drop link... plus the non-factory sway bar changes things in terms of geometry. We actually had Bilstein (US and Germany) here today and we went over this with them (amongst other things)

Cheers nizer and looks good it does... sadly the wheels are rashed quite badly (which one can't see):

Not for everyone Allen and I like it stock too... I've ran their competition series stuff on my ole 996TT's to mostly save weight and the like (which the do well).

LOL yes it's always fun navigating in and out of places... Now of course all the 996/997 folks want that same ride height at the fender which one simply cannot do properly/safely anyways

Spanks! Hah... yes I've not really found any good ones. Any ideas? There's so much crap out there (shiny stuff that doesn't fit well from the far east) but if anyone has a good source let us know...

Gert to the rescue. Great source.

Aye lowered it looked good. Will need to repair them since they were dinged up pretty good

Thanks man and see above- this one is a lil' different and we haven't got the alignment etc.. done so I'll chat with James yet and Bilstein again (we talked with them when they were here today).

Car looks amazing, Black 993 turbo for sure on my bucket list. I'll have to say it too, but I like the stock wheels on this ride. Coming from 18x13 18x10 on my 993, the stockies do your car good.

No worries at all and the stockers were beat up pretty good so once they're re-done it's an option
