Hi,
I finally got my Euro M030 installed.
Go to this link Leo - Euro M030 and you can see the difference between the Factory and the Euro M030 suspension.

While we are on the subject can anybody tell me how to tell if I have a non-stock suspension? My 2000 C2 has 19" wheels and definately rides much firmer than my old '96 C4. Not bad mind you, but I'm curious if the previous owner might have added a 030 and I'm wondering how I can tell.

very nice. The word here is "SUBTLE". Did you have to change the alignment? Is there going to be any "bump-steer" with this setup? My set is flying over the Atlantic now from Gert's.

Hi Arthur,
yes, my porsche shop did it. They did the installation as well. I am just a software guy, like Graham.;-)
I mean instaling a muffler, ok, but a suspenion, NO !
I do not understand "bump-steer" ?!

Rjay,
If your car had 030 as a factory option this code should be listed on the underside of the hood. Otherwise you will have to get the part numbers off the shocks and perhaps someone can help you.

![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi,
looks great and I'm sure handles better than the sloppy standard suspension. Having done some suspension work on a Dinan BMW in the past, It's really tricky getting it right.
Question: Did any special instructions come with the kit (camber, alignment, etc.) that the dealer used or did you just trust they would get it right. Perhaps someone knows if this kit is just a "bolt on".
Also, was there a special kit for convertibles (different weight from the coupe)?
thx

Thanks.
No, there are no instructions.
You have to know what you do.
And yes, i trust my mechanic,
he absolutely knows what he does.
I guess he has a workshop manuals,
after all these are porsche parts,
like the mechanic.lol
As fare as i know there is no difference
in the parts for the cab.
Have a nice holiday season.
