Which is the better setup guys... the Bilstein HD + H&R springs or the ROW 030...?
I don't plan to track the car much... maybe 10%.
thx

x74 and m030 have the same uprated anti-roll bars, but allows a greater range of camber adjustments. it is lower, but besides improving mech. grip, it looks so cool. i saw a comparo in a german rag that pitted a 3.4 x51/x74 996 against a mk I gt3. their times at hockenheim were very close.

I spent a LOT of time analyzing suspensions for my 04 Targa before trading it and, despite concerns about low ride height in L.A., I finally decided to go with X74. Look at Gert's site and the comments from other owners on his site (carnewal.com) (most comments quoted from rennlist, I think). I also had a long talk with Gert before deciding (super knowledgeable guy!). Gert also has new pricing on X74, I think its E1,595 including shipping now. I had it on order but canceled when I got the 997S.

The lowering you get with the M030 is pretty minimal...
The X74 package puts it closer to GT3 ride height.

I would go with either the M030 or the X74 simply because they are factory matched shocks, springs, and swaybars.

I've got this shot, but it's harder to see. The front isn't as dramatic as the rear. Every car settles a little differentlty though.
