I'm trying to find out if the shocks/struts from a ROW 996TT suspension are valved differently than a stock 996TT stock/strut. Thanks.

They are valved the same, just set up for 10-20mm lower ride ht so they won't 'bottom out', the same as what came stock on your car, only at RoW ride ht. The only factory improvement would be the X73 which is valved/sprung totally different, and set at 30mm lower ride ht.

I have the X73 and I thought it lowers the car 20mm. Are you sure its 30mm?

It's 30mm over the stock US ride ht, the RoW is 20mm lower than stock US 4x4 ht. But remember, the factory accepts 10mm +/- as being within spec.
