- Took my Porsche 993 over to Butzigear shop in Milford, Connecticut for a complete suspension overhaul. With my RWB build nearing in about a week, I wanted to get everything dialed in. Dave takes us through an in-depth breakdown and answers many questions that many of us air cooled 911 owners have about these suspension upgrades. He walks us through a lot of the suspension options and why it's recommended and beneficial to add these upgrades to your Porsche 993 or 964.
Great video, well timed! I'm just wrapping up my full mechanical rebuild on my 993. Every single suspension bushing (elephant racing where possible), bbi rs uprights, kw clubsports, wavetrac diff, rebuilt transmission, and 3.8 conversion (cam reprofile, titanium valve springs, mahle p+c's), and what ever else needed addressing. Literally better than new. Should be going in for alignment tomorrow. Super excited!
I did monoball stuff on my ls swapped e36 before i sold it. I will NEVER have an e36 without em. In the right places it makes the car feel planted. Did a mix of some solid, some hella stiff delrin, and then monoball bushings.
@@imSchwaggy exactly! I think ppl over exaggerate monoball bushings. Even though it’s subjective but I’m always on board with improving/upgrading technology that is 30 years old lol. Especially if it’s still on the original rubber bushings from when the car was sold new smh
@@SpeedRacerJoe they definitely do exaggerate lol. Cuz it's not that bad at all. Maybe if you're in a gutted honda, but these German cars are not tin cans. Even e30s with poly and monoball bushings aren't that stiff lol.
- and I'm not a person that likes HELLA rough cars lol. I've driven stance cars with like 20k+ springs. Those feel 100000x worse than stiffer bushings and proper dampers.
Butzigear is an absolute first rate shop. Has been well worth traveling from NYC to have my car serviced there.
Yea he’s awesome! I too am traveling from NYC to his shop haha
Very informative video as always. But man shout out to the camera man. This video looks amazing!!!
@@kaperturedvisuals haha Roscoe kills it always. Huge shout out to him
Very informative, thanks for the info. Something to consider for my 96 cab.
Any time! Figured this would help other Porsche owners just as much as it helped me on deciding what to do with my suspension
Very informative I have a dream of owing my own Porsche one day.
Appreciate you tuning in! You’ll achieve that dream goal one day 🙏🏾
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank You for the informative clip 👍
Can you post a list of all items changed out including part number and brands?
This is very cool! I need to do something like this for my 993 but it is really hard to know what exactly to do. I need to find a shop like this near me who can guide me, because even doing research I don't trust my knowledge. Anybody like this in NE Illinois or SE Wisconsin?
I totally understand how you feel. Finding shops like these that specialize in air cooled Porsches aren’t common. It’s almost like a niche. I wish I knew of any shops in those areas that I could suggest. A fellow RWB owner I know of is in Chicago. I’ll ask him if he has any recommendations
@@SpeedRacerJoe Thanks, so much and kudos on your great build!
Check out Olsen Motorsports in Downers Grove Illinois
@@timlamalfa5329 Thanks! Have they done good work for you?
Do you mind sharing the exact model of those coilovers?
@@SinghsPlace yea no problem. They are Bilstein B16 (PSS10)
@@SpeedRacerJoeI’m
In between these or that H&R for my 964 Turbo, I’m 100% street and looking for a slightly lowered stance.
@@SinghsPlacea buddy of mine is on H&R Deep coilovers for his 964. I’ve heard good things about them. Can’t go wrong with either choice for street driving.
@@SpeedRacerJoe so I’ve heard, can’t wait to see the RWB build.
@@SinghsPlaceme too! Less than 4 days away now 🙏🏾
