I have never driven a 964 and I have very little seat time in my 993 before I tore it apart since it was 100% stock.

The 964RS and 993RS both have harder rubber in the trailing A arm bush, but not the leading. Both have monoball top mounts. Factory alignment and spec on 993 is sportier, springs have similar rates, 964RS is progressive and 993RS linear.
The big difference is the lack of power steering. I can only assume that the "live" feel of the non assisted steering writhing in the testers hands is what sold them.
Anecdotally, the comments on 964 are usually along the lines of, it feels more stiffly sprung, more direct
I have quite a few of those magazine comparisons, i'll have to dig them out and add snippets to this thread.
