Not often I think after market wheels transform a car for the better but those look fantastic. What colour is the car ?

Did you ever consider what many of us 993 owners have fitted for exhausts in the Fister Stage II or IIIs?

Default How Do You Like the Ride?

How do you like the ride with the B12s?

The PSS9s on my ’96 993 ride too harsh (even on the lowest, softest setting), though I love the handling. I’m seriously considering incorporating all of your mods, with the exception of the exhaust.

Cheers!

Great looking car! I would never have guessed it was Forest Green. The wheels look great! Are they a standard item or a custom build? I need to do some updates on mine; I have sport springs but, eighteen years later, am still waiting on the original shocks to give up!

Full disclosure is needed here. From years of experience in the field, I know that automotive journalists and advertisers often have a relationship whereby the journo gets product or services from advertisers either free or at a steep discount in exchange for being named in articles written by the recipient. Notably missing here is any comparison to products of other companies, as well as any information on actual cost. The old "Chiinese wall" between editorial and advertising departments is collapsing, both in print and on the internet.

That said, kudos to BRW for creating a subtle, beautiful, and modestly improved "911" that stands out in a sea of later-model, be-winged, and overwrought 500-hp cars.
