Freddy;
Let's all keep our fingers crossed. I like your idea also as I'm in Tampa, and I can just pick 'em up from you!

I'm watching this one closely...perhaps a belated Christmas present?

Just got a response from ViperBob:
"Hi Rick,

We can do $1450 for the HDs(30mm extra threaded fronts) springs and no
sways. Or $1950 with sways / bushings and drop links for C2s or $1800 for
C4s. All prices are plus shipping. I can do this for M033 or M030. M033
setups will require shipping of springs from Germany so it will take a
little time (usually 1-2 weeks). The M030 stuff is in stock and can ship
same day. New plastic bits for the front struts run $15 for all needed
parts. Minimum 10 orders (they can just call here. No one would need to do
any other work). Pricing good through 1/31.

One thing to remember here, you do NOT have any Bilstein warranty on any
shocks purchased outside the US."

I think it looks pretty good. Freddy let us know as soon as you hear from Gert. That last sentence is a factor for me though.

Freddy,

I am interested as well. I'll email you as well. Thanks. My email is tomiervolino@valcor.com

This could be my first mod... I'm interested

While we're waiting, can someone remind what the importance of brand new "sways / bushings and drop links" are please? I'm not doing this for added performance, I just want to get rid of the horrible SUV height with no degradation in current performance.

So can we leave those parts off if we choose to?

Falcondrivr

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But the way I understand it, the MO33 suspension is the stock suspension. Going to ROW just drops the ride height to ROW height. MO30 is the "sport" suspension that is for added performance. MO30 is where you need the sways/ bushings and drop links...

I'd like clarification on the sway bar issue too.

I'm interested in the M033 setup for road use. How much does this package lower the car versus the stock USA setup? I'd like to lower the car but the roads in Atlanta suck with lots of potholes and speedbumps to deal with.

Falcondrivr

This is exactly why I'm doing the MO33 also. South Tampa roads are horrible. I am planning just the shocks and springs, without changing the sway bars. It is supposed to drop the car around 20mm front and 10mm rear, according to Streather's book. The ride quality and handling are supposed to remain the same as stock with this setup. However, there must be some handling gain by lowering the CG, probably only felt at the limits.
As always, just my .02

M030 and M033 = same ride height but different spring rate.
Sways are optional on either but if you are going M030 (stiffer ride, usually for a purpose) I'd get the larger sways so you get the full advantage of the M030 springs.

I'm watching very closely. Suspension is on my to do list this year.

993MAN

All I know is this......a few months ago I was in contact with Gert and he is very good to deal with and always answered my stupid questions. This mod is the best you can do for your 993. The car handles wayyyyyyyyy better and feels so much better in general, while still remaining relativley comfortable (on our crap roads at least)
Forget the exchange rates guys and go for it! You will wonder why you have been putting up with the stock set up for so long.
By the way, I had the kit in 3 days to me here in NZ.

Freddy

Hi 993MAN,

Would you have some pictures from now and before the kit?

IM INTERESTED IN THE BUY FOR SHOCKS AND SPRINGS FOR THE MO33 SETUP, BUT WHAT ARE BUSHINGS AND DROP LINKS?
ARE THEY NEEDED ON MY C4S?
