Pics of my 993..At Regular Height

These are pics of my 993 after I replaced the lowering coil springs with OEM.
The rear struts were also beaten to death by the lowered coils, so I replaced them with Bilstein Adjustables.

The OEM coils really improved the ride, and IMO, improved the looks. Some of you will say "What are you, nuts?", but this car really became a Porsche once again. I may even look for Fuchs to replace these 19" deals.

Compare pic in my avatar.

Seems like you now need smaller wheels.

Yep, but it's going to take some research. My independent (Forza Motorcars-Texarkana) says this 993 has a body kit to make it an even wider butt than normal. I'm not sure about that, so I'm going to measure it. I wouldn't want OEM wheels and tires to disappear under there.

I would find another shop. You have a normal NB 993 with no body kit on it, except the front splitters. It also looks like you have the wrong offset rims, as the back ones stick outside the fender.

There are a ton of great OEM rims out there, all the NB 996 & 997 + Boxter S wheels will fit properly.

That's what we're all here for.

I believe your rear rims are for a WB car.
