Default C4S Suspension Question

Unless I'm missing something, I can't seem to find a ROW M30 for the S. All I can find (from Porsche) is the X73. Now I'm probably not going to go that route, I think PSS10's might make more sense, but I was wondering why there were different motor mounts included in X73 kit.

What's the deal?


Thanks guys,

You already have the US M030 suspension on your car (aka US Sport), so IMO it wouldn't be worth the money or effort to put the ROW on.

Yes, euro spec was the whole reason. I was just surprised that they included motor mounts in the X73. I figured that there had to be a reason other than revenue enhancement....

Thanks for the info.

The RoW version sits 10mm lower, exactly the same sport suspension(030) you are referring to. The x73 is a much stiffer competition suspension, sits 20mm lower, the mounts are much stiffer, you will feel all the vibrations, trust me. The x73 is great, but not ideal for a cab, you'd be better off with the more sedate pss9s.

So, the only thing different is the length of the springs, correct? That I didn't know.

What a great resource you guys are.

For the C2, the shocks are also shorter between the RoW and the US M030. Link It may be reasonable to expect the same for the C4S; not sure.

Make sure you read the Discussion in that article. I recently decided on PSS10s for my C4S.
