Default Anyone got M033 they want to sell?

I have decided that for the urban area I live in, I'd like to go with ROW M033 suspension. Anyone got the ROW M033 springs sitting on a shelf somewhere??? Gert has the whole thing (springs and oem shocks) for around $1K.

If you're in Tampa, why not just call Viper Bob?

He's the one that got me started thinkin' about it. Hanging out with him can get expensive quick...I will have his place do the install. I was looking for used springs maybe? Also in all the treads on this topic, I haven't seen anyone who went with stock ROW M033. Everyone seems to go with the HDs. I'm worried about ride quality on crappy city streets.

I just brought the MO33 kit (oem springs and oem shocks) from Sunset Porsche two months ago for $715.00 (talk to Phil). I live in Washington DC and the ride is just fine. Also, the ride height looks to be perfect. Glad I went this way and not the MO30 route.

Is this the ROW kit or US spec? - Thanks

I believe it is the ROW kit, but I am not sure. Phil from Sunset told me that Porsche had 7 left in Germany (he had to order it for me). I plan on getting a digital camera in the next few weeks. When I do, I will post pictures.

The MO33 ROW springs and OE shocks sound like a bargain with the added benefit of a more compliant ride for the non-track cars. Are the OE shocks Monroes?

I believe they are Monroes, however, they could also be Boges. I was just happy to get them at that price that I never checked on the OEM. Phil at Sunset Porsche should be able to answer if there are Monroes or Boges. A Porsche tech I know drove the car after I had the springs and shocks installed and he commented that it handled very well and rode even better. I can not agree more. All's I can say is that this is one part of the slope I have really enjoyed. Great price, great results.

Thanks Glover...this is probably the route I will go, as I am not certain that I will see/feel the benefits of Bilsteins for the difference in cost.

I just called Sunset Porsche yesterday and got a price. The MO33 setup (Struts/Springs) is $732.32 plus shipping. If you want the racier M030 setup, it is $1074.70
