Water Hound

Just did the Carnewal ROW M030 swap in my '02 cabriolet. Rear height dropped not at all and front dropped 10mm. No issues for me still with driveways/speed bumps, etc. Car handles amazingly better but it was a 13yr old original suspension with 90,000 miles after all so an improvement was to be expected for sure. Biggest difference is waaaay less understeer and a much more planted feeling at speed. All in all best investment I've made in the car by far.

Water Hound - did you replace any bushings, control arms, etc as well?

I would go with the ROW M030. It's $750 more, not an insignificant amount, but remember you are also getting the new sway bars front and rear.

LEX - you have a PM

Fracture

I ditched my factory M030 at 29k, found it harsh and had
some bump-steer
this may have hampered by a fairly hardened set of Sumi tires at
the very end of their cycle

PSS10's and H & R sways, new tires and alignment
probably more than one needs for the street and an occasional DE or track thingy
but hey, there's a lot to get out of any Carrera when you make it handle better

Water Hound

Replaced only those parts in the Carnewal kit. Spring, shocks, sway bars and basic bushings. Control arms, etc original from 2004.

Has anyone installed the H&R clubsport coils? I haven't found any hits by searching. i was also planning to upgrade to row m030 but these coilovers are less than $1700 (less sways as compared to the row 030 kit for $1300 ish).
