ROW M030 Owners, I'm looking for this data from more than one source.

1. Car Year and Model(C2, C4, cab, etc)
2. How many miles driven on ROW suspension
3. Measurement from center hub to wheel well F and R

Any pics would be a bonus of YOUR ride on ROW

In my search, I've read various numbers and seen various pics but I'm hoping I can see some kind of consistent pattern.

I've had the ROW in my possesion but just haven't gotten around to installing it yet. I guess I'm hoping for some last minute validation on the stance.

Please no XXXX Coilover vs ROW vs X74 in this thread....

Only ROW owners need chime in.

what?

you bought it and want to validate it before you install it?

thats wierd, why not just put them on and go have fun
OH wait, I am not an ROW owner..... nevermind

Yeah situation is weird but then I'm weird.

My main concern is having seen inconsistent lowering amounts between different ROW owners and not really 100% knowing what my end result will be.

My practical side says this is Porsche engineered and will ride great. My vanity side wonders if the stance will be something I can live with if it turns out to be one of those higher ones...

awe...
but IIRC from my high school shop days, if you give the same part to all the class and have them all measure it with the same tool, you will end up with a fairly wide curve of results. in your case you have a random group using random tools and "guessing" cenetr of the hub and height to a rolled piece of sheet metal. Do you expect the measurements are what varies or the actual suspension (spring) heights - or both?

I am not eligible to answer, yet, but I will be in a couple weeks. I have the M030 RoW suspension enroute, and it will be professionally installed, perhaps by the end of the month. So consider this post to not be here... yet.

Full and pure - no XXX stuff added - all factory stock new parts, including 4 brand new correct factory stock (non-adjustable) drop links.

Also I may not post here after it is done, since I already have an active thread going on this called "M030 ROW Suspension" maybe a page down from here.
So tune in there. I already have before pictures, but they are with XXX springs. I am actually RAISING the height of the car with the new suspension.

I plan to give the springs a couple weeks to "settle" before taking the "after" pix and posting them.

I had US M030 and..... oh, Im not qualified to answer either.

uh, just mount the suspension... I was happy with the US except for the ride height.

Search here and Renntech for my RoWM030 on my CAB. Love it! Nice drop in height and no more floaty feeling. Did this something like 6 years ago.

Mine is the US M030 as well...a drop in ride height would have been better with the ROW, but the ride is much improved.

I have done many mods to my '02 C4 Cab and the RoW M030 was the most significant in terms of improving the driving experience. You are insane for putting off the install - do it and drive it and you won't be disappointed. It is the suspension system that was designed by Porsche for this car, NOT the US version.

I bought a new 04 C4S and put on row the first week. No problems, everything fine since then.

I put ROW M030 on my old car. It was OK overall. It didn't drop it much, but the ride on street and track was much improved. I went track crazy and ditched the M030 in about a year.

It is great if you street and just "enjoy" DE. Like you, I got bit by the track bug and I went right off the slippery slope and added a GT3 to the stable
