Default ROW M030 Photos

I actually searched for a while and I was unable to find many pictures of the ROW M030 installed (found one only). I would appreciate if someone could post some pictures of their car with this setup installed especially on a cab. I'm trying to decide which way to go on the suspension... Thanks!

^ if you DD, I suggest ROW. If you track 5+ times a season X74.

DD only - do you know (roughly) how far each lowers the car? price comparison?

I am not sure but if you PM Gert at Carnewal, who is a sponsor, he will get exact numbers for you.

Do a search on the forum for "ROW v X74 v PSS9/10". Copy and paste into 996 'search form tab' and eureka!

Let me chime in as I recently installed the X-73 suspension on my 996C4. It significantly lowered the car without making the ride too harsh. I find the turn-in much faster and more precise, and the body roll is almost elimanted. I had also looked at the PSS10, which required all kinds of additional parts (sway bars, mounts) and decided to go with the complete package which my mechanic ordered from Gert.
FYI i attend 4 to 5 DE events each summer, and the car handled so much better on the track..

I will try to attach a pic for you to see the difference.

Note that the PSS10's are not really height adjustable, this is a common misunderstanding, one that I also made when buying my PSS10's. The actual range of height adjustment "approved" by Bilstein is only about 5mm and is really for corner balancing. While the coilovers will allow for more adjustment it is not recommended as it affects the performance of the shocks.

The real adjustability of the PSS10's is the damping on the shocks, and this is a nice feature. The PSS10's lowered my car by an inch or so. Ride is great and handling is much improved.

Mine is just a daily driver - no track events. The european sport suspension is perfect for this car!

Here are pics w/ and w/o the hardtop.

Why is ROW M030 so much better than the US M030? Is there something wrong with the US M030? I don't track my P car, I do have spirited driving moments, and have 'domestic' M030 suspension and I have to say it's tighter than you know what. Is ROW so much better as it pertains to regular world (spirited) driving?
