Default Lowering a 2004 550 AE?

Hello all,
I would like to lower my 2004 to ROW ride height without duplicating parts already on the car. I understand the 550 anniversary edition already has the sport suspension at the US ride height. Can I just get the springs without changing anything else? Should I go with Porsche or aftermarket? Thanks for any advice.

I did that with mine using the H&R sport springs. You do need to get adjustable rear toe arms to get the camber right on the lowered car though. I got the Tarret ones and they are quite nice.

Here's mine with the M030 shocks and H&R sport springs.

MTS, you should not have kept the A/C blasting with top down...
Now, you got to clean all that snow out

If you replace your US M030 springs, I would be interested in buying them.
