993 Handling

[taipan]

I'm fairly new to Porsche ownership and have a 993 C2 ('96 with BBS LM 18" wheels). My question is to do with handling. I've owned a fair number of fast cars (inc. Impreza WRX and BMW M Coupe) and just don't find the 993 to inspire confidence around corners. At speed the front always feels vague / light as if it is going to run wide at any moment.

I don't think I'm being paranoid but equally don't know if this is simply down to a different 'style' being required. Has anyone got any ideas or maybe experience with 18" wheels. The tyres by the way are Avon's, suspension is standard. I don't know what pressures people tend to run on 18" wheels.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the initial feedback guys. I have fitted a strut brace recently but really didn't notice any difference. I am also going to get the sterring rack brace from Carnewal which is recommended for 18" wheels.

Does changing the suspension involve springs and dampers or just dampers? Also the comment about tyre pressures - has anyone got any suggestions? Cheers, Martin.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I'm going to have to invest in some suspension and tyres! I've checked my owners manual and for 18" wheels the recommended pressures are 36psi front and (gulp) 44psi on the back. Before I go and wipe myself out on my favorite rat run is anyone running these pressures? Any feedback welcome.
