I installed the ROW M030 suspension (purchased from Sunset in Oregon) last weekend and have only driven around the block.

Suggestion
The ROW M030 front springs and bump stops (for all models) can be varied to some degree to adjust spring compression/rates.

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.

Hi all,
I was looking at these kits from Suncoast for my 2002 cab. Certain kits are priced at $200 more, specifically the the Carrera 4 coupe (6 speed and tip) and the cabrio 6 speed (tip cabrio is standard price). I asked them why there is a difference in price and they said the springs have a different part number that Porsche charges more for.
Does anyone know specifically what the differences are in the springs? I don't understand why the 6 speed cabrio would have different springs then the tip???
C4 Tip weighs 386 lbs more than C2 6 sp. US and ROW M030 springs vary for weight and rate between models. I presume supply/demand determines the price. Check Design 911 and Carnewal for their prices. I recently purchased ROW from Design 911 because price/shipping was lowest for my C2.
Installed the Carnewal ROW M030 in the cabrioletlast summer. What a great improvement for street driving. A little bit lower but a lot more sure footed.
I was intrigued by your question, so I dug a little. The ROW M030 front springs and bump stops (for all models) can be varied to some degree to adjust spring compression/rates. But the differences in measured performance would be tiny, and severe brain trauma may occur by doing all the math. If I were wanting to buy the set from Suncoast for a C4 Coupe 6sp (1460 kg), I'd get the set for a C4 Cab 6 sp (1480kg) and save the $200. Weight distro for the C4s are all about 60/40 anyway and 20 kg front difference just doesn't merit the extra coin.
I agree. I am thinking of ordering the kit for the C2 Cab tip and save the $200. The springs should be minutely stiffer given the tip is slightly heavier.
Funny the kits for the C4 Cabs (heaviest) don't carry the $200 premium.
each models have different springs. They are all different weights. they may charge different prices but its absurd. You can shop H&R springs because they are the same as the porsche springs. They may be cheaper
$200 seems pretty small a price to pay for a suspension that is optimized by the factory engineers for the specific model you have. I'd try to save a buck or two someplace else.
Last year, I purchased the M030 ROW from Gert/Carnewal for my 00 C2 6sp to replace the US M030 that came stock. Gert is great to work! The kit sits a little lower (maybe) than the US M030 but the ride quality and handling are night and day difference. I was expecting the ROW kit to ride rougher than the US M030. This is not the case. In everyday traffic the ride is not a harsh but when cornering on twisty roads the car stays firmly planted. With the US M030, I always felt the rear wanted to slide.
I would recommend Carnewal and this upgrade!
Yours sits lower? It didn't seem to make a difference on mine. Sure it handles better but I often wish it would have resulted in lowering the car as well.
I went from stock to ROW M030 a couple of years ago and have been VERY happy.
This is a great link if you want some objective technical info:

That's some good info thanks for sharing!
Looking at the spring chart, it appears that there are 2 different front and rear springs for ROW M030, only difference is one set is 3 mm longer then the other, same spring rate and gauge.
On my '04 C2 cab the front dropped around 1/2" and the rear only 1/4". Supposedly the drop is supposed to be closer to 1" up front. I put this down to the original 13 yr old suspension just being bagged out.
I installed the ROW M030 suspension (purchased from Sunset in Oregon) last weekend and have only driven around the block. I'm hoping it will settle in a little lower.
