Default 993tt ROW M030 ride height photos out there?

All. Could I trouble some of you to post a side shot photo of your 993tt with the ROW height. I am considering suspension options - but really like everything OEM. The car has 30,000 miles so shocks are probably due now - or soon to be due....and what other parts have to/ should be changed. Done a search on the topic and WOW opinions vary...so I am sticking to OEM discussion with current options on the market. Is Gert still the best source?

thx.

Probably not the best photos, but will give you some idea.

I just had bilstein HD installed with Turbo RoW springs (different from RoW M030) on my 96 993TT with 32k miles.

I posted before and after pics in a recent thread requesting same.

I'd post the link but I am writing this post from my phone at the moment

Just search recent posts by me.

Note the after pic is straight out of the shop before any miles or "settling"

The key question remains, are these cars setup on RoW height?

It can be on RoW M030 springs with aftermarket dampers but that doesn't necessarily means that it's stock height.

Although de posted cars look pretty RoW height to me.

Get some PSS10's and set the height exactly where you want it.

Default RoW ride height

Overdraft,

Pretty sure this is right on, if not very close....

RoW (measured from suspension reference point)
Front 144mm, Rear 127mm

RoW (approximate fender height)
Front 25 3/4", Rear 25 1/2" (+/- 1/8")

PSS10s w/ MPSPS2s are a great combo. Very comfortable ride set at 1-2.

Steve Weiner at Rennsport systems in Portland is one of the best: http://rennsportsystems.com/

What did you find?

Brian

Mine was set to turbo RoW height specs and corner balanced.

Both Brian and Badabing's cars are precisely the height I am after. Gert sent me some pricing with ROW springs and Bilstein HD6 shocks to achieve this...and adviced the Bilstein over the OEM Munroe. My plan is to buy another GT3 so my 993tt will be more garage queen - the odd day on the track just to have fun with it - but not push it too too hard. Thank you gentlemen.

Dennis,

Bilstein's PSS10'S as suggested are probably one of the best options for getting the height just right amongst other benefits.
I had the ROW springs and shocks on mine before and put the Bilsteins in a few years ago....very happy with that mod.
Good luck
Derek
