Wow, thanks for encouragement, Edward. I guess I should explore on my P somehow and this sounds like a perfect one to start. If it looks easy enough I may even change the springs/shocks myself in the near future.
thx

The front drop links are definitely different PN and is the one in the above parts list. The rear drop links have two different PNs, one for -95 cars the other for 95- on, same for all cars, including M030 option.

I paid $502.50 for all the bits to complete my RoW M030 22/20mm sway bars installation. I also added RoW M030 shocks/springs and front strut bar at the same time. After the install, it was like driving completely different car!

Amp993,
Different PN, eh?....Interesting. Well if you've checked the PET, so be it.
FWIW, I have a 95 (with stock non-M030 susp) and the M030 bars slipped right in, and have been performing flawlessly for a couple of years now. Don't know what the new droplinks would do....perhaps someone here knows the exact difference?

As I recall, the M030 drop links are more robust and appear to be forged vs steel rod type of the stock drop link.
