the individual parts have to be available for replacement purposes. i think i have the part numbers if anyone needs them. i'd get the sways & springs from porsche & the struts from bilstein.

the M030 is much more pleasant on the street, much smoother to drive - its also easier to drive in a competitive environment - my rhythm when I autocrossed with the M030 was buttery smooth.
I have PSS9 coilovers now - they don't ride anywhere near as nice but the car is much lower and is super sharp - inputs result in immediate reaction, whereas with the M030 you kind of have to flow, knowing that the car will move fractionally after the input so you have to string everything together.

I just ordered and received the ROW M030 kit from Sunset.
It was $1039.22 to my door.
I already have a race car and did not want that for my street Porsche. I did want to improve the ride and handling of one of the best handling Porsches out of their factory and the ROW M030 kit is (hopefully) it for me. As I understand it with this kit you can get a more agressive allingnment without resorting to camber plates etc. The Bentley manual shows the specs for this setup.
One question though... this is going on an '03S and the springs I received were:
Silver / Red 986 333 531 30 504
and
Red / Yellow 986 343 531 15 504
Are these the correct applications for my car?

Race Car
Would anyone be willing to trade their low mileage US M030 for my ROW M030 with 5k miles on it? I'm considering the switch because this setup excludes me from SCCA stock classes. I can do the swap after November 22 so please PM me if interested but I won't trade for non-M030 [obviously]. Thanks.

Used US M030 Suspension
I would like to sell my used US M030 suspension as I did
the ROW030 conversion. I have the springs/shocks/struts for
sale. Let me know if you want to buy it for the SCCA ride hight
restriction and we'll see if we can make a deal. It has Approx
40K miles on it and 80% of that was freeway driving. I see you
are in SF. I am in Clearlake CA so could be talked into bringing
the parts down. My car is a 2001S.
