option code P030?
Any option code gurus out there? Search and the decoder here didn't come up with anything. "030" came up with sport or something along those lines. Does this denote the RoW M030 suspension?

IMO, 030 stands for the M030 sport suspension. But not RoW M030 if your car is a US car (meaning that you get firmer shocks and springs and thicker anti-roll bar, but the springs are different from the RoW M030 to accomodate with the USA ride height).

I verified recently that the springs were RoW M030 when they were removed from the car in favor of a new set of PSS9's.
The RoW classification of the M030 springs was determined by the paint codes on the springs. It was obvious from the ride height that the springs were not stock US height.
As for the bars, there is an orange paint marking on the rear bar (engine cover is off) but I did not check the front bar due to the steering rack cover concealing its true identity (assuming it has a paint marking at all).
It seems that the car was delivered to the dealer when new with the M030 options. Was a special order for RoW springs allowable? If not, he probably purchased RoW springs and had them installed in an effort to lower the car.
Short of measuring the bars I feel pretty confident that I do in fact have the M030 bars which is really what I was trying to figure out in the first place. Once again RL pulls through. I Didn't even need to kneel down or get my fingers dirty either!
