Suggestion
Try porscheshop, last I checked they were doing it for about £600.00 I'm going to be ordering a kit myself soon, not overly keen on using M030 shocks, but with the price of the OEM standard ones, it's a no brainer to renew all four + get extra parts for the price of less than two normal ones.

I use JZMACTECH for servicing work used them for 5 years, been pleased so far, but can anyone recommend anyone else to fit these parts I know Center of gravity are popular, but it's a bit of a drive, so if anyone can recommend anyone else, north London, herts, Cambridge area it would be good to have a couple of options.

Suggestion
Slightly further for you to go but any of RPM in Cheddington, ProMAX out near Buckingham or Backdraft Motorsport in Bletchley could fit the M030 for you - and at least ProMAX and Backdraft can properly set your geometry up too.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello
I know there have been many posts in regards to the mo30 Suspension, and i had it in mind that Porsche were selling the kit for around the £500 mark this included all parts needed to do the upgrade, and was well discounted.
I rang my local OPC and they have quoted me £1229.90 + VAT in which case i wont bother. Does anyone know something i don't on this if so i would be grateful to hear something so i can make inquires on this? I am aware that this figure i can take off 10% as i am a club member.
Thanks Phil
I took my kit to a local garage that i know and he charged around £200 to fit it then i had the geo checked for another £150. OPC's are always expensive, however i found they were the cheapest for the kit esp with 10% off. Dont forget to get new top mounts for the front and rear.
Try porscheshop, last I checked they were doing it for about £600.00 I'm going to be ordering a kit myself soon, not overly keen on using M030 shocks, but with the price of the OEM standard ones, it's a no brainer to renew all four + get extra parts for the price of less than two normal ones.
phillips the opc price may be for installation and geo as well . check chris thats cheap - near london? - any thoughts on polybushes - autofarm said will be too hard with Mo30 Not on my arse. So have full set of polybushes for sale
The price quoted was for parts only not fitted + vat so I was quiet surprised, anyone else purchased at a good price from opc. I will take into account porscheshop. My plan is to buy the kit and have it fitted by my Indi Phil

Porsche 996 C4 / 996 C4S/ 996 Turbo if you fancy track work Code: 3602209602 http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt65_65_1712_-cma81-cmo110-ct346/Porsche/996--911--1997-05/996-C4-3-4L-1997-08-01/DesignTek-D220-Coilover-Suspension-Kit/
Interesting is this the same as the M030 kit as it mentions ride height lowered by 10mm and not 30mm which I was informed the M030 would give as a ride height.
M030 is 10mm lower than standard, and X74 is 30mm lower. Sounds like they quoted for the X74, which isn't usually discounted. When I get to my PC tomorrow, I'll look up the part numbers for each model, and the current prices.
I got mine from the opc in leeds. Alot of the online companies quote a price that doesnt include vat for the cost of the kit. I found the mounts were cheaper online tho.
Richard, this would be very helpful as i was quoted the Mo30 kit but he did say the car would be lowered by 30mm which I did think was to low for the Mo30 he also mentioned the availability was not great so maybe there was a mistake? I look forward to seeing what you come up with. As always thanks for your help. Regards Phil
As mentioned it's the X74 that loweres by 30mm, I would consider this if I were you, at least if you do some spirited driving or track days. And if that price given is for the X74 it sounds like a good deal to me. I've got the M030 my self but with lowered springs, works very well but still rolls a bit in the corners.
Thanks, the thing is that I use my car on all sorts of driving a lot of B roads, motorways. I would like it to have crisper handling and from what many have said the Mo30 kit works very well. I also don't want it to hard as often I use my car with my wife and two children so don't want it to feel to hard. When I heard that people had paid around £500 for the Mo30 kit I thought that this would be a good time to go for it, but when inquiring was surprised by the price and can't justify the cost of £1229.90 + vat + fitting. Cheers Phil
Here we go: M030 Sports Suspension Retrofit Kit, lowering 10mm, including: Front and rear shock absorbers and springs Front and rear anti-roll bars and mounts MY1998-MY2001 (3.4) Carrera Coupe, C2, manual: 000.044.500.07 Coupe, C4, manual: 000.044.500.08 Cabrio, C2, manual: 000.044.500.15 Cabrio, C4, manual: 000.044.500.16 Coupe, C2, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.19 Coupe, C4, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.20 Cabrio, C2, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.17 Cabrio, C4, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.18 MY2002-MY2005 (3.6) Carrera Coupe, C2, manual: 000.044.500.27 Coupe, C4, manual: 000.044.500.28 Cabrio, C2, manual: 000.044.500.29 Cabrio, C4, manual: 000.044.500.30 Coupe, C2, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.33 Coupe, C4, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.34 Cabrio, C2, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.31 Cabrio, C4, Tiptronic: 000.044.500.32 The current list price for 3.4 cars is £536.03, and for 3.6 cars is £536.01, both exc. VAT and PCGB discount. (So with 10%discount, and VAT added, it works out to £578.90 all-in). The X74 (30mm) lowering kits are £1229.90+VAT.
Richard, thanks for this, just called my local opc and they have now confirmed the price but won't give me the 10% off for being a club member plus they have no stock the same in Germany, however he is going to make a call and find out the score. As soon as I know I will post my findings. Phil
I tried to order from 1 OPC and they have informed me that Germany (porsche) have no stock and are in negotiations with their supplier, they will contact me when they have more news but think the price will shoot up, this happened on the 993 a few years ago, so I have been told. So for good measure I tried another OPC and they took the order giving me the relevant discounts as per Richards figures.The parts are on back order but i have been informed that everything should be ok if not the system would flag up a note saying that there could be a change in the product avalible so i have my fingers crossed and will wait and see. Phil
That price is just such a bargain, just pick up the phone and say yes! Or order from Design911 og Porschechop etc... I got quoted just over £1000 per axle! last time I checked.
And thats not norwegian crazy pricing, just stock Porsche price with a little VAT on top.
correct stock are low i had the last one in stock 3 weeks ago o was told. it is good value but don't forget the top strut may need replacing at 170 each. so designtek suspension kit isn't looking too bad with 4x struts
I will just see if I can get the Mo30 kit from OPC first as its a good deal, but good point about the top struts. I use JZMACTECH for servicing work used them for 5 years, been pleased so far, but can anyone recommend anyone else to fit these parts I know Center of gravity are popular, but it's a bit of a drive, so if anyone can recommend anyone else, north London, herts, Cambridge area it would be good to have a couple of options. Phil
Slightly further for you to go but any of RPM in Cheddington, ProMAX out near Buckingham or Backdraft Motorsport in Bletchley could fit the M030 for you - and at least ProMAX and Backdraft can properly set your geometry up too. I have the M030 on my 2004 986 and it makes a great deal of difference on track.
Does anyone have any pictures of a 996 sitting on mo30 springs and shocks as its only 10mm drop I wanted to get an idea on the difference in the ride height visually over a standard set up. Thanks Phil
I found this thread useful when trying to figure out what ride height's look like: http://pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=48&t=822768&nmt=996%20-%20lowering
