Guys - snake oil for these cars! Go drive any one of about - oh - what? TWENTY-FIVE of these cars at the Ring or at Spa ALL lowered and ALL with this "BAD" drop-spindle situation and NONE with this modification and then come and tell us about how poorly the cars handle. There are FEW guys here (myself included) who will ever out-drive that suspension as-is with the proper spring-rates and roll-bars added! (I don't think that sitting on the bumper of a 993/996 through tight turns is so bad...   )
Let me be clear (and the guru Richard said it himself), this IS an issue that comes WITH body-roll... By adding anywhere from 100-115 to 125 kilograms of spring-rate per corner (Richard, call me if you need the conversion to pounds/inch) and by going with the RSR coil-over setup, body-roll is damn-near eliminated and this is NOT an issue anymore!
And NO, larger torsion bars will NOT do this for you (I don't care HOW large they are...)
P.S. Mats, I think father-time just called you a Total Loser...
