Robert, I already took advantage of Bob's deal... M033 w/o sways.
With what my CC company will charge me for "foreign currency" fees and the import tax we get hit with, it made more sense for me.

I got a few questions:

these are with Bilstein HDs I assume?? What kind of sways in the full-kit (diameters)? M033/M030: is that a hybrid system? Or is it a choice of either? Will this fit 993TT?

Sorry for so many probably stupid questions....but the prices seem good, so I am interested.

One more plug for Viperbob: he answered my Qs yesterday very promply...coincidentally about suspension packages also (PSS9s). Gert also has excellent rep here....

James, you understand completely. That is all you have to do.

Marlon, as for "M033 lowering more than M030"... it all depends on the person installing the suspension. They are both adjustable with plenty of room for setting the ride height where you want it. As long as you don't want it back to the USA ride height.

Count me in for the M030 from Viper Bob...complete kit w/sways. Since I have a C4 I don't need the drop links & associated bolts. I think that lowers the price for the C4 by $100 or so.

Where can I get PSS9's for $2,000???

Spoke to Viper Bob on the phone and his "group buy" price if you want PSS9's is $2,200 with no sways.

I assume most like me are upgrading the sways from 19mm/Fr & 17mm/Rear to 22mm & 20mm. VB's larger sways are approx. $350.

So with sways it's M030/Bilstein HD's for $1800 ($1450 w/o sways) or $2,550 for the PSS9 & sways.

$1800 vs $2550 for someone who does not track seems like an easy decision.

All us 4S or C4 folks are lucky because we have the correct front drop links. The correct drop links for non-"4" cars are like $150 EACH per Viper Bob. He stated that the (2) front drop links are as much as both sways.

I talked to VB today and he said it was a simple DIY. I'm going to have to wait this time around because I have to do a clutch instead. The clutch is starting to slip under hard acceleration. Not all the time but I think I should take care of it now vs. having a big problem later. Bring on the RS LWF and upgraded clutch!!!

Of course it is. Bob proofed my DIY instructions before I posted them here:
