Default Anyone need RoW M030 sway bars?

I'm thinking of buying the RoW M030 suspension kit, but I don't need the sway bars. Does anyone want just the sway bars? If so, PM me and perhaps we can work an equitable deal.

If not, I may buy a used set or a new set of just the RoW springs and shocks from Gert at Carnewel.

Let me know if anyone has an interest.

James - you may want to price Sunset and Suncoast as well.

James, can I ask - why you want to change (replace/renew/upgrade)

Sure. The main reason is to get rid of the squishy suspension. Body roll, dive, and squat are not controlled enough for me. Plus a little lower will better.

Sunset has the kit at $1,100 shipped and since I already have a rear bar I don't need the bars. No front bar upgrade is needed as I prefer to have oversteer vs understeer.

if you have not made the purchase I strongly suggest you look at the X73/74 for the reasons you stated....install/alignment = same cost, only a tad more spendy up front... but you wont be wanting to change it again in 6 months

For $200 extra you could have the X74. It is not that low.....really.

AND - you'll feel like you did something

I was really on the fence and after a ton of searching and reading all I know is the ROW aint enough cowbell for me.... I would have spent 90% of the money and been really ticked at myself

(keep in mind I am talking about a DD car too - its just not that low / rough / aggressive.... but definantly more that the ROW which if you recall IS stock everywhere but here)

$200 more? Where are you getting this? I many consider if that is the case. I checked Carnewel and Suncoast and it's much more than that.

I will be installing myself, so having them preassembled is nice, but I have swapped several suspensions so this should not be much different.

Well.....thought you had a C4. Carnewal sells ROW 030 for 895 Euro. 1075 Euro for the X74 (C4) with out the bars (because you have those). Its about a $200 delta. But 1275 Euro for a C2 (no bars). So the real difference is closer to $500 more. This is on the carnewal site.

Sorry for the mis-information but for a little more you get a fantastic set up.

No worries...was hoping you had some inside pricing line. Did you try the RoW before doing the X74? Curious on scale of 1-10 where stock is 0 and X74 is 10, where would the RoW fall? Maybe a 4 or 5...not sure if it's about half way inbetween.

Never had or rode in a car with ROW. I was really leaning that way too. I think you are right....the ROW would be a 5. The X74 is great. On the track I can pull some G's with it. It is a great upgrade. If you do decide to go X74 make sure to get the engine protection plate. Just adds some insurance.

I can also say that Gert is great to deal with. Don't let buying overseas scare you.
