Question Lowering US spec. car to ROW or lower.

I searched archives and found something but is there way to lower the to ROW dimension or maybe little lower with just springs or something else not so expensive than PSS9?

I mostly want the looks but don't want to ruin the ride either.

Thanks!

RoW M030 does a nice job, Gert can provide it at a good price. By the time you have someone install it and then pay to have it aligned, the difference in parts price may not be too bad if you really want something else.

I drove my RoW height M030 car all over creation, it was quite practical as long as one keeps the height in mind.

Thanks Ed,

I guess thats the way to go, how much that will lower the car from US dimensions?

I also confirm 030 option is the best way to go. Mine was equipped with 030 from the very beginning, had no problems whatsoever on the Greek roads (average not so good to say the least)

For the 993, there were four [4] different ride heights. Taking the US height as a reference, here's how they were:

1- M032 - USA/Canada ride height (this includes USA M030 Sport option)
2- M029 - Standard ROW ride height - 20 mm lower front/10 mm lower rear
3- M033 - Lowered ROW ride height - 30 mm lower all-around *
4- M030 - Sport ROW ride height - 30 mm lower all-around
5- M002 - Carrera RS ride height - 50 mm lower all-around

* M033 was standard on ROW Carrera S and 4S cars and M030 was an option which did not lower these two models. M033 was also an option on regular Carrera and Carrera 4 cars.

All above figures are approximate and vary from one vehicle to another.
