Default Best place to buy ROW M030

Hey guys. im looking for the ROW M030 suspension kit, just wondering if anyone can direct me to the best price.
So far i have found a full kit that includes all four corners shocks, springs, sway bars and bushings for 1149.00 US, wondering if there is anywhere in the GTA that can better that?
thanks

Sounds like a good price... I bought mine from Sunset a few years back for about the same price (plus shipping) and that's the same price as Suncoast. Pull the trigger if that's what you want.

Cool

Bought mine through my local Porsche dealership who was willing to match the price advertised online by Suncoast Porsche (vs Sunset). Because it is a Porsche part number, they can order it. No shipping charges for me. Just sales tax. This was 3 years ago and the price you quote is about what I paid then. Still sounds like a good price. Arrived at my dealership in boxes which included all the right installation and replacement parts.

Thanks for the feedback guys, im hoping to keep the drivetrain of my car as close to stock as possible, so thats why im looking for the ROW set-up.
Maybe ill call Pfaff and see if they will match the online prices.

x73/74 is a factory set up - also considered STOCk if you consider ROW stock on a US spec car

where's Pete for gawd sake!!

I would have preferred to go with the x74 but it's on backorder and almost impossible to find. So I went with the ROW M030.

Within the US it took almost a month to order one, but I ordered it from Gert at Carnewel and received it within the week. It's a good suspension but does very little for the look of the car compared to the alternatives.

I have no problems with the look of the car/suspension as-is. I just want a more planted feel to the car, especially on the highway. If ROW m030 does it, I'm liking it!

I installed my RoW M030 setup a few months ago, just after I bought the car, it firmed up the suspension nicely and lowered it a little. I got it at SunCoast. They delivered it pretty quick, less than two weeks if I remember.
I like it.

Funny how these always turn into M030 vs. X73/74 discussions.

X73/X74 is great for looks and on the track... but if TO roads are as bad as Winnipeg, living with X73/X74 would be a PITA in a daily driver... hence my decision to go with ROW M030...

My $0.02

this is the first time you said what the reason for the "change" is

now we are getting somewhere

how many miles on the car?
ever had any shocks replaced?

what tires / age
tire presure
alignment - a real Porsche alignment - when, what numbers
what is "un planted" right now (describe it) - I bet you can fix this for a lot less effort and money if you focus on the problem

Here I is Ed! Have to say the X74 is great. Yep it lowers the car quite a bit. It is a factory Pcar suspension......and it is freaking awesome! It really is not that harsh of a ride but you need to pay attention to where you point your car. I really suggest you find someone that has it and go for a ride. Heck most guys don't even know what it is. The 030 I'm sure is a nice upgrade but with the X74 my cowbell is banging everytime I drive. To each his / her own.
