So I was quoted a little less than $900 for installation of a complete ROW 030 kit including swaybars and alignment. This is from a fairly reputable Porsche independent here in Northern Virginia. They are thinking 9-10 hours total.

How good/bad a price is that currently?

 

I am getting ready to do the conversion. From research it looks like $600-$700 is a good price w/alignment.

 

Nova, Thats a fair price from a Porsche dealer.

 

This isn't a dealer, it's an independent shop. But they virtually specialize in Porsche.

I called another shop and they were $1100. That seems high. But they were also trying to talk me into PSS9s instead. I'll have to search for opinions on that.

Thanks.

 

I think you should talk to your Porsche dealer first, see what they will do for you.

 

That's an ok price, my dealer charged $800 with alignment while one of the shops wanted $1K plus alignment.

 

I just got quoted the following from a local shop called Speed Sport Tuning:
"My charge is $1100.
Replace suspension set up car and ride height.
Perform 4 wheel sport alignment.
Test drive!"

They seem to know Porsches VERY well and I trust them to do the work, but I am thinking the price sounds high(esp compared to the other posts in this thread) but I don't really have any place else to go except the dealer. The dealership I bought it from doesn't do aftermarket work(I know the row m030 is Porsche part..) so I would have to try another dealer that I didn't buy my car from.

Should I just suck it up and pay the $1100?

 

I guess it depends on the area. I couldn't find anything better than $1100 from a reputable shop in the DC area that has any real experience with 996s.

 

How about in So. Cal Anyone have a recommondation along with price?

 

Had mine done at ANDIAL in Santa Ana.
Install M030 Suspention:$ 552.00
Install Ft Sway Bar:$ 96.00
Install Rear Sway Bar:$ 40.00
Corner Balance:$ 80.00
Complete Alignment:$ 280.00
This is for a C4 Cab that got a ROW M030 in June
Perhaps I overpaid, but the result is fantastic!

 

paid $800 first time for coilover (H&R) and GT3 sway bar install, alignment and corner balcance - $750 the second time (PSS9s).
