I have NO problem paying $100 for a set. Heck, I'd pay double that without blinking an eye. I like how these fill in the hole, but are still a reversible mod, which can be an important factor to people down the line.

Great! I'm not keeping track at the moment but I will start a new thread as soon as I can get the part modified and printed in which I get a head count via survey on how many I need to make.

I should have the modified parts by tomorrow or maybe Monday at the latest. Then I just need to test them on a few local 993's and try and get a sense of the variance. After a year and a half of glacial pace, this finally feels to me like I'm getting somewhere.

Getting batches printed will require some outsourcing I think as can you help me for a few minutes vs can you print out a couple of hundred sets this evening are very different things

Did you ever get your suspension changed out?

Not yet. Still trying to decide on keeping the stock springs or going with the ROW height.

Initial tests are less than promising. While the drivers side plug is good, the flipped passenger side just doesn't fit as well which implies that the holes just aren't that precise in their size/location. A mm here and a mm there make a big difference. Maybe the best that can be hoped for is something in which to use to fill the gap but that require adjustment on a case by case basis from there.

I'll know more on Monday.

I'm still interested in something that can be sanded (or have filler added) to finetune the fitment. I could work with something that has a +/- 2-3mm variance in it. Sandpaper and filler do wonders.

It'll certainly be close enough to work with but the thoughts of a one size fits all solution may be unrealistic. Know more soon.
