I am planning to completely replace the suspension with the M030 kit as it represents pretty good value for what you get for your £££.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all My car is on around 88,000 miles and the suspension could probably do with a refresh. Suspension-wise it was creaking last year and it had new coffin arms and anti-roll bar rubbers. I am planning to completely replace the suspension with the M030 kit as it represents pretty good value for what you get for your £££. https://www.porscheshop.co.uk/porsc...-to-2005/sports-suspension-kit-oe-996-c4.html To be honest, the -15mm drop is not what I was after but it's what's in the box. My question is what's the alternative at the same price point? Every site I look at lists dampers at £300 each minimum and that's without springs etc. I can't see anything that is better value. If you know where I can get something that's equal in value without the -15mm drop then please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

POST 5Original post

I thought koni were only for the c2, not the c4. I've been looking too but pretty much decided I'll just get bilstein b6. Should still be a step up from stock

POST 6Original post

Does Porscheshop actually have them in stock, worth checking. My C2 M030 was under £900 direct from an OPC so try them first. PCGB05 =5% discount also. The 10mm drop offered my kit was negligible as my original suspension had already sagged by that amount anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. Great kit, combined with renewing other suspension components it made a noticeable ride difference on my car after a good geo.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all, that's most helpful :thumb:

Are many of these options still good in principle for a 4S? Different parts obviously but in terms of upgrades.
