what happened to the guide? I looked around for it so I could post a link in this thread but it appears MIA. Agree that it is excellent for the purpose

No, didn't know there was one. Bought these new. How much were they going for?

They sold for $1,957.98 plus $80 shipping. Same guy bought some Fabspeed pipes.

Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190968682292...S:3160&vxp=mtr

Wow, that's a heck of a deal. Not bad for 1500 miles. The exhaust is also not bad.

Since I am changing to PSS10's should I upgrade my Sway bars as well?

I have seen a few recent posts about members switching to H&R bars. Should I do front and rear?

What about drop links? I know the coil overs will probably bring their own.

Thanks,

Drive with stock bars for a bit, if you need more stability or firmness, then add the heavier bars. It will stiffen the ride though.

Cheers,

Mike

Got the H&R's and couldn't be happier. Poor roads can exact a toll to your fillings but the feedback and high speed stabilty is more than worth it. Check my post on the drop links for a money saver.

If someone still has the install guide, can you please post, or PM it to me. I've read several threads, but I can't say I've pieced it all together yet. Thanks.

I still have not found the time to install mine. Will install this weekend if weather permits. I too would like the guide if possible. Thanks.

The 993's have a really simple suspension setup, so just go for it - there is enough information around (and above) so you should not be too tentative about it. For the fronts, struts are out with two bolts on the bottom, and the four tower nuts on the top. Back is similar, drop the toe links (marking the eccentric first), then pull out the shock by undoing the top tower nuts.

You do not need a spring compressor to remove the tower hats - you can use an impact guy if you do not care about the old shocks. Just use common sense, transfer all the plastic hold downs from one to another, and reinstall. The shop manual (downloadable) has all the torque specifications. Once you are done, you will need an alignment.

Cheers,

Mike

I know it's not the 10, but that's a GREAT price for that kit. I'd be all over that if I didn't have it already.
