Well, just pulled the trigger on the last remaining C2 manual set in NA warehouse. I'll do an update once it's installed within a couple weeks.

 

Did the get it from Suncoast? I talked to them last week and they said there was one in the U.S.

I bought the second to last set last Tuesday, received it on Thursday. Started the install Thursday night. The job is very easy to do. I am doing brake pads and rotors all around as well. I removed the H&R sport springs, sick of the clearance issues. If anyone knows anybody who wants the H&R's cheap, let me know. I will post pics when I am finished. This will be a good fit for 3-5 track days a year and Sunday cruises to sunny Cape Cod.

Just finished a thirty mile test drive with the M030 just installed.

 

And??? Tell us in as much detail as possible how it's different. Thanks.

 

What clearance issue did you have? I've got H&R's with Bilstein sports and don't have any. It seems like the 030 sits a little bit higher?

 

Gents:
The ride is much better than before, "BUT" my front shocks were worn out. This could will not make the car sit lower because ride height is independent of the shocks, again the shocks being so worn the springs would absorb all the energy of a bump in the road etc and if the bump is large enough, you could hit on the rebound. The larger rear sway bar did keep it flatter in the twisties and therefor more speed. Mrs Greer did not appreciate the increase in the lateral g's . Any way, will go out for another ride today, with out Mrs Greer and attack the road a bit harder. If anyone has high mileage on their shocks, I recommend highly that you change them. This entire kit is cheaper than 4 new shocks. P/N 000-044-500-07. I had to convince the local Porsche parts department that this kit actually existed.

I've heard of the Euro sport suspention for ROW 996tt (which is what I'm looking into as well) the matched set with sway bars and all...and here is a link to the X73 which is another option I've been told about (shocks, springs, and motor mounts)

what is the X74 from Gert that I've heard about in this thread? How to get this, pricing, any links?

 

more pics please~!!

 

James- is that PN for the entire kit (springs/shocks/sways)? If so, is that the kit that would be ordered for an 02 C2 Cab? Who did you deal with over at Sun? I am looking into purchasing it myself and appreciate any tips or feedback. I have read a lot about people receiving the wrong kits and the car not looking right. Thanks!

 

That was the entire kit, shocks, springs sways and bushings. The rear sway is thicker than stock, the front is the same stock part. I cannot confirm if this kit is the same for an '02. When I called sunset, I asked for Porsche parts and got the next guy available. They are very conscientious and professional there. I have spoken with several different people there and have nothing but good things to say about all of them. This is a good DIY for a person with the right tools available, not hard or complicated at all. I have attached some more pics from the Glen last summer. It shows the suspension loaded differently on various parts of the course.
