Very nice result, Paul. Well done, proper job!

I do like a low 993 with rear wiper delete, PSS10s and hardbacks.
Bring yours round to meet its less interestingly-coloured twin:

Is there really going to be a 993 forum?

Cheers, Richard.

That's just the iPhone wide angle doing that. There's no camber on the back, KS wouldn't talk to me again if there was...
:lol: You need camber to get down wiv the Fleet massive, bro. Innit.

But from the Cornish viewpoint, I think it looks the dog's whatsits! Well done! :cheers:

Glorious Paul, I've never really been a fan of the Speedlines but on your car they look fabulous! 8)

A really fantastically well executed project, you should be very proud of yourself.

Well done! :thumbleft:

Very nice Paul 8)

Like new! Although I fear it may have cost that also... :shock:

Great stable of cars you have, need to swap the 993RS for a 964RS though I think now to finish it off, in either yellow or rubystone.

Most importantly, does the wife like it or has she nicked it for good? :)

Looks stunning Paul. Wheels are spot on . Ride height looks spot on too, what is it at , RS height ? Or lower ? I'm running RS + 5mm ( 964 rs ) and find it perfect for what I want .

Hi Paul, thread has been fantastic and car is now epic. If it stance is with full fuel load it looks perfect. Other than that if empty I would only lift the front 5/10mm. It's perfect pal.

Oh, it's your car but I would have had this set up with fast road spec, RS camber and all, as 993 really respond well on the road in this fashion. Love it.

Terrific looking car, Paul. Congrats to all involved.

How does it drive compared with the RS? Will that now be mothballed?
