The ROW kit used to be the best deal for those seeking minimum lowering but Porsche as usual has raised prices over the years. At under $1k including sway bars, it was a great value. Now they sell for $1400.

The Bilstein/H&R combo price above is an avg price

 

This Dealer sells the ROW for $1,300: sonnenporscheoemparts.com

000-044-500-15 --- SUSPEN RETROF (-10MM) --- $1,305.23

 

I just found the stuff on Amazon.

And sjg1138, I can't find the ROW kit you mentioned for that price....

 

Would it be better to get that ROW kit instead of the stuff I bought??? I have about 12 hrs to cancel the Amazon order... lol

 

Hmmm, and now it seems maybe the DesignTek coilovers would be a nice option as well...?!?

I was pretty certain I was done shopping for a new lowered suspension, but now the options are a bit overwhelming...

I'd like to still in the $1500 total area if possible!

 

I can get the ROW lowering kit 00004450032 for $1150 shipped...

I am assuming thats what the majority of you think I should go with..?

Its better than the Bilstein/H&R combo, and even less expensive...!

 

I just checked again and you have the correct price for the ROW at sonnen (it has gone UP $150 since I got a quote a year ago.).

Where did you find it for $1150?!?!

 

ECS Tuning.

 

ECS...good people and service.

 

Well, after all that back and forth, I decided to stick with the H&R spring / Bilstein combo. Got it all delivered today, so its time to head to the garage!

I think I might have the most difficult 911 to do this work on. Its a C4 AND Cab...

Wish me luck!

 

Done! Took 9 hours (5pm to 2am) by myself. Could not have done it without the support of these forums...!

Looks like its down about 1 1/4 inches in the front. Back is still settling down. Really like it! Getting alignment Monday after a few more miles of breakin.

One thing I did that was a bit different. I had spring compressors, but there is so little room in there I ended up using a tie down ratchet strap (photo below). The rest (including the unbolting of the halfshafts for the C4) went just as everyone said it would.

Thanks all!

 

(and yeah, I would recommend buying new boots and bearings... but I did not...)

 

Oh, and the project started off with a bang. Broke the lock for my wheels. Had to do the "12pt socket and hammer" trick to get them off. New locks on order...!
