Default FS: aftermarket RS uprights - experience?

In a quest to dial out a bit more bump steer, was thinking about rs uprights. Besides oem, both bbi and elephant manufacture them. Bbi is more $ but not by a wide wide margin.

Anybody on here have experience with either?

I went with BBIs uprights. They are a work of art and supposedly have better geometry than the RS versions.

Did you also procure the inner and outer tie rods to go with it?

I also went with the BBi uprights. They're great.

MCS 2 ways, BBI uprights, EVO tie rods, RS sway bars, and Elephant sport hardness bushings. The geometry that the BBI’s allow is incredible. See my refresh thread Here

Thanks. Seems like BBi is the way to go.

Can't comment on the experience aspect, as my car is still in pieces but I decided to stick with factory...

My front setup:

KW V3's, RS uprights, GT2/Evo tie rods, RS drop links, RS swaybar, Elephant "sport" (RS style) bushings, Elephant camber plates.

For us 964 guys who go RS uprights... How do we order our dampers? Do we need 2 sets so we can put together fronts for a 993 and rears for a 964?

My 964 KW V3s went on the BBI uprights no problem.

Update: I purchased and received the bbi uprights. Now I have to pick my inner and outer rods and probably camber plates as I'm going down the that rabbit hole.

TheBen, suggest you reach out to Steve Weiner and discuss the right suspension for you, and your driving. Steve takes a ground up approach, starting with tires. Steve helped me setup both my 993 and 964.

I think Steve retired unless he is doing consulting now...
