993 C2S winter project - planning phase
Discussion
Advisory from the service and MOT shows that I need to replace the front shocks, so I feel an upgrade is a good idea as they need to be replaced anyway.
At the same time I'm also going to replace the discs as well as they are corroded and have already been skimmed.
I'm also toying with the idea of upgrading the exhaust to give a better sound, I still want to be able to hear however and be able to drive long distances without the need for earplugs.
I have a 993 C2S and I wonder what you've upgraded to and what your experience has been. As you can see, I have plenty of work planned for the winter months!
Cheers guys.

I love these type of threads!
RSRs are superb and very good value for money compared with the other options available. Get a HID headlamp upgrade kit if you have not done so already.
In terms of suspension, I would recommend a set of Bilstein HDs all round as per the previous poster and any bushes that need changing. You can do a lot more with the suspension if you want to but really depends how much money you want to spend on it.
A motorsound airbox is nice to complement the RSRs.
Enjoy.

Yep,Bilstien Hds and H&R springs are the ones to have,vastly improved handling yet still compliant on the road.
I went the de-cat pipe route and am over the moon,it sounds fantastic outside,is still quiet inside,has added a bit of midrange grunt and i think it is a tad better on fuel...you will hear a lot of old wives tales against this mod,but in my experience its untrue.
You will have to find a Mot man who is willing to overlook no cat though.
If you are anywhere near Cheshunt,Herts you are welcome to look at my C2.

I have a nice C4S at the moment that has a Cargraphic system fitted by Autofarm (with a chip too) that sounds fantastic but with no arduous drone on motorways etc.
I had a C2 early last year that had been de-catted, I took it for the MOT with the cat in the boot and a nod and a wink at the ready - he said he'd try testing it as normal and it passed fine, so removing it doesn't necessarily mean any MOT worry.
