FWIW: I run 800/1000 in my 964 with JIC's. It was an adjustment to get used to the springs but much better than 600/800. My car weighed 2450 without me. I have the 993 EVO uprights in the front but retain the 964 suspension in the rear - both front and rear with full mono-*****, etc. It works, but one day I'll switch to Motons.

I have about 6-7 years of track experince 2 diff. race licenses, and thousands of laps at many different tracks across country. Albeit I am a student of life, and driving no exception I have been able to get 1:37 at Mid Ohio with a "Street" suspension, perhaps the 3.8L you built helps? The car has a fully welded and gusseted cage and BIG sway bars. I feel like the susupension really needs to be stiffer.
Might I suggest that you call me? I can offer some specific recommendations based on what shocks & tires you will run.

John, I just noticed you sold a set of triple adjustable 993 Cup/RSR shocks last year for a good deal. Did you run those on a 993? Why did you sell? How did you acquire those?

Tom, I am thinking about something almost identical. I was going to revalve single adjustable Bilsteins with 800/1000 and run for a couple of seasons. I have mono ***** but no evo uprights in front. Do you think that makes a big difference? What was the big change with the springs? Was the car more twitchy?

I never put those on a car. I bought them thinking I would but ended up selling them instead. I bought them on ebay real cheap because they needed rebuilt. I sold them pretty cheap for the same reason. I just did not get around to doing anything with them basically. Had to get them out of the garage.
