Hey Everyone,

I've found a used set of of ROW M030 suspension parts for sale, I was ready to jump on them until I realized that there is a difference between the kits for a C2 based on the transmission style.

Does anyone know what the differences are? Could I use the Manual version on my Tiptronic? The car is a daily driver, no plans on tracking or autocross, really just need to refresh the suspension and the M030 seems like a great value.

Hoping some can provide some insight.

Still looking for some insight into if there is a big risk to doing this. The only thing that makes sense is that the springs are different due to the weight difference of the transmissions.

Does anyone know of a parts listing with numbers of the various M030 kits? My car is a 1999 so would need the 1998 to 01 kit.

As far as I know the M030 kits are the same for manual and tip. Don't see why they would be different.

There is a difference between C2 and C4, C4S and Turbo suspension though.

Wait, carnewal actually asks if it's a manual or tip so there might be differences, although I doubt it:

I looked into this when I was thinking of this option (until I got the steal of a deal on some Ohlins). The shocks are the same it's all in the spring rates. I think the differences are pretty small though, rears for the tiptronic might be ever slightly stiffer to accommodate the extra 100 lbs.
