I just installed RoW M030 suspension kit on my 03 C2 Cab over the weekend. Did the job alone in about 9 hours in my garage without a lift. This was my first time doing suspension mods - probably could trim at least a couple of hours if I have to do it again.

No problems with installation thanks to the instructions on Renntech.org. I also considered X74 and PSS9 but both of these were double $ of RoW M030. Plus, I didn't want ride to be too harsh and I don't want to mess around with corner balancing and other adjustments so R0W M030 seemed like the right choice for me.

Driving impressions: Ride is slightly rougher on bumpy roads but not much. Car is lowered slightly - I forget exact measurements but I'd say about an inch in front, half-inch in rear. Bigger sways make huge difference in handling! The car used to feel soft in corners and understeer was apparent. Now, car is much flatter and front tires bite. I can't wait to try it on the track.

I'm planning to drive it for a week to let things settle and also need new rear tires before I get an alignment done. Even without fresh allignment, difference is apparent.

For anyone looking to tighten up the handling, especially on a cab, I highly recommend this mod.

I'll post pics after I finish a badly needed wash.

 

congrats..... yes this get the pics coming....

 

Thanks for sharing the info....I want the same for my car. It's hard to beat the value. I'm glad to hear you like it. I'm saving my pennies.

 

All I have to say is...

 

Where did you buy the kit and can you share what you paid?
Thanks,

 

I bought mine from Suncoast Porsche online for $1,057. I would have gone with the PSS9 but they cost about $2,000 and don’t come with the front and rear sway bars, which greatly improves handling.

Suncoast Porsche $1115 plus $40 to ship. (This is for the '02+ kit. '99-01 kit is $1057 +ship. Sorry, still need to get those pics.

 

I received the yellowish bump stops from Suncoast for the rears and re-used the fronts per renntech.org instructions. Here's an after photo:

 

wow... so they are selling kits without all the proper parts.... boy-o-boy.... can you say "re-install and re-align"... cha-ching... $$$$$

 

You're right...as I recall, bumpstops don't come with the unit. Thanks for the reminder.

UPDATE: On looking at my order specifications, it seems like bumpstops do come with it. Are you referring to something I overlooked?

 

Ill throw you a free high five if you add a before AND after.

 

i don't see it... is that the before shot?

 

Rangergress is talking about compensating plates, not bumpstops.
The compensating plates are available in 3mm or 6.5mm thicknesses.

 

Now I'm concerned. What is the function of the compensation plates which I did not install? What are the implications of not having them? I didn't see anything about compensation plates on Renntech, at least not associated with M030. I saw discussion of shims of some sort associated with X74.

 

As most everyone else that installed the ROW kit (myself included) has probably done, you most likely installed the ones from your existing struts.
