Talking 3 more mods with one to go

1. Installed 6mm spacers all around
2. Installed 38mm chrome bolts from Ralph Boothe
3. Finally put my silver horizontal pieces in the dash.

Now, everything is done EXCEPT... yes I will lower the car when I finally decide what system is best. Just want a better cosmetic look. Any suggestions?

Bolts

6mm Spacers

Silver Dash Stripes

Nice!

I just downsized to 8x10 Turbo IIs on the rear. I also installed 6mm spacers all around and love the look. Next I'll have to get Ralph's chrome bolts.

Stunning.

Don,

Looks great! I went with the x74 kit and it is great, I do scrape a lot now, but I can always replace the lip.

Don, I'm having these installed next week and I'll post my opinion and some pics afterwards...

My former 993 coupe had a coilover suspension and the ride was far too harsh.

Misty looks great as always!

Don:
You what I'm gonna suggest for lowering your car. Tried and true from a good company.

Car looks very cool btw. Love all the interior painted pieces.

Wouldn't raising and lowering a coilover susp. get expensive at $250 a pop for alignment?

Kevin, a friend of mine and I did them. We followed some guy named Kevin's DIY. Wonder who that was! Everything worked fine except I destroyed the orig strips in the process.
