I'm waiting on mine......backlog at the Porsche factory. Andial more expensive by maybe a few hundred dollars, I don't know if shipping and handling is included in their price. I know of many who swear by both Carnewal and Andial. I suppose they are the best. I'm hoping Santa can fit the suspension components down my chimney.

Called Andial. Despite having 3 seperate people selling the same kit for 34%+ under them (20% under their "web site special effective for this month" price), they said "Andial is not in competition with...other people...".
And, "We pride ourselfes of not only stocking some of these special parts, but also offer correct installation in our shop"
Blah, blah, blah. He forgot to say they can't even get you in til next year (which is what their service dept told me yesterday). They should have said, "hey, we have stuff in stock, but you'll need to wait as long as it takes others to get it in stock for us to install it"! Further, try finding someone there on the phone who knows what's going on. "The" service guy and "the" sales guy were both not available both times I called (out of the office).
Bottom line, MUCH better prices and seemingly better service is extremely easy to find in CA.

Congrats. I'm going to do the Euro MO30 with the GT3 seats (AT LEAST 70 lbs lighter than my current supple leather, heated, electric, lumbar seats) and TT brake upgrade. Together with the lighter 2002 18"s Carrera wheels (almost 25 lbs lighter than my 18" turbo looks) I put on, it should make a nice home-made C2S cab :-)

Ben,I'm sure there are others, besides Andial, in California who will install the parts. My local dealer in Texas can do mine anytime. I know Andial costs a few dollars more but they have it in stock and they are quite careful in the packing. I had mine in a few days. BTW shipping was NOT included 
, but only amounted to about $25 to Texas. Also that "internet price" has been unchanged in months.
Good luck with your RoW 030, can't wait to get mine installed. Post some pics!

Thanks DJ. I'm leaning now toward installing the 2002 Euro stock (non-030) shocks and springs with the 030 sway bars. This should increase performance (especially with the ability to get more neg camber - specifically in the front) via lowering and still keep a good street ride.

Question for DJ: Which Houston dealer are you using for your suspension installation, if you don't mind my asking? I'm thinking about making the same move with my 996TT, and wondered how much confidence I should have in the local shops.

I am sure you guys are tired of hearing this question, but I am being a bit dense and would like to hear again opinions.
Can I get some comments about ROW M030 vs the FVD Bilstein/Eibach combination as advertised on their web site. Seems that the Bilstein/Eibach offers adjustable perches, but other than that, it is the same cost as the ROW M030 that is offered on the Carnewal web site and seems to be the same drop.
Sorry for the continuing question on this.
