Default 155k Mile 993 turbo

I'm wanting to completely restore the suspension and make it like new again. I want it to ride like a bentley and lower it as much as possible. Should I just get OEM bushings etc and then I was leaning towards RUF struts/springs... My last car had RUF suspension and I was very impressed with how low the car was and how well it rode. And who is the best place to order all of this from? Thanks!

Also, want to go with more aggressive bumpers, but want to be tasteful. RUF the best option for this? Any other recommendations?

None of that is going to make it ride like a "Bentley."

You get the idea... And I'd dare say my RUF car rode as good as my Bentley CGT...

Just did a complete suspension / chassis upgrade on a friends 993 using the KW V3 coilover kit, MO30 sways, Elephant bump steer kit, Walrod LCA bushings, Elephant camber plates/ rear shock mounts and RS motor mounts. Stunning transformation... Call Darin @ FD Motorsports (tell him Nurburger sent you).

Rstrada is the US source for RUF parts, though I don't think bumpers are available any longer - https://www.rstrada.com/shop

Might want to try the Turbo S front lip for a slightly more aggressive look.

Honestly you can't go wrong by replacing with new OEM control arms in the rear, new up front tie rods etc. One thing you have to consider when only replacing bushings, is the ball joints on the arms are tired as well esp after 155K miles.

Coilovers from KWs or PSS10s would be more than sufficient for a nice ride.
