02_996_C2

Need advise on the FVD Bilstein/Eibach single coil spring coilover setup vs. RoW MO30 setup for 996.

Will the RoW MO30 lower the car more than what is listed on carnewal.com for US Spec 996 since the US Spec 996 has a higher stock ride height than the Euro Spec 996?

Does anybody try to install the RoW MO30 springs without the factory spring pads (compensator disk)?

Does anyone in Los Angeles area has either setup on their 996? I would like to ride along with it to experience the difference compare to stock if possible.

THANKS!!

RoW M030 is lower than US M030 by 20mm in the front and by 10mm in the rear; I am not sure if US M030 is lower than the non-sport suspension?

The biggest advantages of coilovers are adjustable ride height, ability to corner balance and ability to use adjustable antiroll bars. May be worthwhile if you track or autocross your car.
