Taking delivery soon! 993 C2S

I will have posession of our 993 C2S soon and am already gathering info for mods. To preserve what I am taking off, but to also add a little more "flair".

Rims- Lightweight, Forged Monoblock.
Suspension- W030 height- Coilover preferred
Exhaust- Car already equipped with motor sound package, but would like to go with a larger set of tips
Seats- Recaro, but which ones?
Turbo S front brake ducts- Where do I get them? Too Common?
Fabspeed Intake- Worth the money? Alternatives?
Does anyone make a solid front STB for the 993?
Best source for a Turbo S steering wheel?

Car will remain a weekend dry weather car. With occasional open track visits and Dragon Runs through Blue Ridge Mtns..

Any insight or opinions from use would be great. I have seen a good amount of very nice 993s here and respect your opinions...
Thank you tons in advance.

For the suspension, you mean M030, you want the Euro setup. But if you are going to do any track, get at least Bilstein PSS10's

If it has the Motorsound kit, you should have the bigger tips, if not be prepared to bend over, they are stupid expensive.

Your on you own for seats.

The Turbo S ducts can be found just about any where, dealer, eBay, Porsche parts places.

Don't waste your money on any intake modifications, they do 0, zero, zilch for a stock 993. The Fabspeed piece is a PIECE OF CRAP! It's super cheap plastic, like the stuff RC car bodies are made from. I got one, & still feel ripped off. Again, IF you have the Motorsound kit, you will have the Motorsound airbox. if not you can also pick that up just about anywhere.

There are a few solid strut braves. But they are hard to find. Ruf, stock RS & I can't remember all the others who make them.

There is no Turbo S steering wheel, it's the same wheel on all US 993's. They make a NON-airbag 3 spoke wheel on the RS.
