993tt - 408, 430 and 450 all same chassis?

[kennyboy]

Can anyone confirm if the 408, 430 and 450 versions of the 993tt all came with the same chassis and clutch?

Would be interested to know any differences in powertrain other than engine, e.g. suspension, brakes etc.

Cheers

All the same. The Turbo S (factory 450) had hybrid suspension; as recently sold on ebay funnily enough. Very stiff but with some good components to help keep the alignment with the lowered ride height.

Thanks Alan.

Even the clutch the same?

yes, the same clutch. However, I believe the 993GT2 had a different setup for the clutch.

A good porsche specialist in Germany told me that the standard clutch is fine up to at least 500-520hp. Again, it's really how it's used in daily driving.
