Default Installed Suspension on a sweet 993 today

Iris Blue 97 Carrera S with damn near every option in the book. Has factory Aerokit, Motor Sound, Factory colored gauges, and more. Car was bought new by father of current owner. Father passed away and son vows to never sell car. Very nice...

That car belongs to a Rennlister, glad to see he finally settled on a suspension. What did he have installed? https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...and-input.html

Beautiful car, too bad it is a tip. Nice way to think about his father every time he drives it.

I ended up in similar situation (purchased my 993 from my f-in-l who was a friend and father figure to me). Every so often I'll drop by his site and "show" him the current mods. Beautiful car, I hope it's enjoyed thoroughly for many years to come Iris blue is one of my favorite colors.

Looks more like Zenith Blue than Iris in that light.

The shocks are great!! Much better then the original ones which ended up being garbage. I bought a set of the Koni FSD, after 2 rennlisters let me test out their cars. Also yes, it's Zenith metallic blue!

Glad you are happy with the FSD's, they are a great all around choice.

Which springs did you end up going with, if not the stock springs?

Any chance of a pic of the car with your new set-up?

The other color I'd go for. Just the right shade.

I just used the stock springs for now. The front of the car was lowered as much as possible with them and the konis. I honestly didn't want it too low, way to many raised sidewalk speed bumps in my area. I'm happy with the height!!
