Previous owner of my car installed the adjustable Bilstein and H&R kit from carnewal, and I'm very happy with it. Rides nice, and handles great! See pic at left for ride height.

To OP beautiful 993 and welcome to RL!

To the broader audience, I understand there are lots of RS specific components one must use/consider for true RS ride height. What about RS +10 ride height? This seems to be a popular compromise between ROW and RS heights.

Great buy, congrats! The car looks super with Turbo Twists.

I have H&R coilovers on mine, without adjustable dampers (not sure if exactly the set you linked to, can only tell by ref.no.). Looks are awesome, but the ride is HARSH (I also don't/won't track)! I'm thinking of replacing with Bilstein fully-adjustable instead, hoping this will provide for at least a slight improvement in comfort.

I guess ROW height is the way to go, i certainly do not want to take away from the performance of this fine machine.

Last night after installing the tires i was feeling sassy and pushed it a little harder than usual. the CE came on and i ran the code which ended up being P0501 - Vehicle Speed Sensor Range/Performance. I reset the light and we will see if it comes back. Has anyone else seen this code after some spirited driving. I did bounce off the rev limiter once (hate to admit it).

That's what I went with, and it's plenty low. I really can't imagine it being lower than that.

Never got that code. Here's some info to consider, and they do recommend to reset and see if it returns:

Looks great. Do you have issues with bump steer? Is the kit really necessary?

thank you. I did reset it and the light came back after 1500kms.

Even at std RS height 124/107, you can keep the normal uprights, the RS uprights and tierods become increasingly necessary as you go lower than that down to Cup/RSR/GT3 95/94 neighborhood

First, welcome to the club! I installed Bilstein B6 HDs and M030 springs. I cranked them down as low as they could go. Click on the link/pic in my sig and you will see a lot of pics of my ride height to give you an idea if that solution is for you. If you don't need/want adjustability, I think this combination works great. I recently returned from 993Fest with a lot of spirited driving in twisties and my car handled like a champ.

I'll throw my 2 cents worth in. I went with Koni FSD's on original springs. Most here cannot stand the stock ride height, but it's a must where I live. There's is no history on long term use of the FSD's, but I was willing to take a gamble because mine rode so rough every time I took it out, it felt like something was going to break. I really like the ride now and I haven't noticed any decrease in handling.

In the photo with the new wheels the driver side appears to also have toe in and/or negative camber in that pic which could account for the different gaps on either side, maybe my eyes are playing tricks. If that's the case though hopefully an alignment will sort it out.

Since 1999/2000 the C2S coupe has been riding on RoW M033, F&R sway bars from the RoW C2S spec., and recently Bilstein HD (B6) were added. Basically the RoW C2S production set-up

15 years and couldn't be happier. The coupe is a street, weekend daily driver.

Question? Back in the production days of our 93s, didn't the M030 option include Bilstein HD dampers? ? (Not the standard Monroe units)

After having owned the car for 2.5 months and loving every moment of it, I know there will always be a P-car in my garage. Preferably this one.

Mods so far:

H&R coilovers
RS Engine mounts
Proper KT alignment
Walrod A-Arm bushings
18" hollow spoke 996T reps
Falken Azenis FK-453 tires 225/40 & 265/35


Upgrades:
New Bosch lenses
Mobil LS transmission fluid

When i first got her:


New wheels and tires but still with serious ride height issues:


How she looks now:




Swapped the lenses for fresh Bosch units last night. Took all of 15 minutes. I've never seen a car that was so easy to remove the headlights.

Fun to see people having fun like this.

Looks great man, we should meet up soon.

Wow that really is low !! Is it lower than RS ?? Looks like tires will scrub on arches at any opportunity.
