WOOHOO! RoW M030 INSTALLED!!

ok, after hours and hours of reading on the subject, and with all of your help, the RoW M030 is in!!! i can't tell you how happy i am with it!!!!! it's just so unbelievably different, i didn't think it was going to be this good. the softness and floatiness in the front is gone, the car turns in better and tighter than before, and doesn't give up. as for the ride, i thought i was going to be in for a bone crusher, and although it is definately a felt difference (FIRM), it was quite pleasant both on the city streets and highway. it was exactly as everyone said it would be: it's the way the car was meant to be. i think the most important point here is that the ride suits "me," i'm not going to track the car, and all i was after was Porsche OEM and a lowered ride height. as for the RIDE HEIGHT, in MY instance the car was NOTICEABLY lower, not just a little bit, but definately lower. it was everything i bargained for and more. now all of a sudden i don't find myself longing for different wheels, nose or skirts, although i know the mod bug has bitten me hard. i'm soooo happy i chose this as my first mod, i can't wait for the PSE which i will do next. details as follow: -purchased thru Gert at Carnewal.com (great price, lots less than US) -arrived here in los angeles in 4 working days. -rusnak pasadena handled the install and alignment. they were very courteous and helpful. they didn't flinch when asked if they would install it for me. I would have chosen Lucent but i didn't have the ability to take the car to the west side (i live in pasadena). i thought their rates were EXTREMELY reasonable, matter of fact, only a few hundred $ more than the next alternative. -$2000 all in. everything. Guys,Gals, thanks for helping me out during this decision making process. i'm elated. AND YES, THE PICS ARE DEFINATELY COMING...will post them to my pic site. oalvarez

Can't wait to see your pictures! Congrats!

oalvarez, are you saying that $2k covered the cost of the suspension plus the installation?

Conrats!!! That sounds about right.

yes, whether bad or good, that is what i paid for the suspension (the kit sold at carnewal.com) and a porsche dealer install + allignment. i hope that helps.

Oalvarez, That's a great price you paid, IMO. If you get the itch to autocross the car in the future, have Tom at Lucent perform the camber settings for you. I had mine done, the tires are now wearing better (more even) then at stock settings and it understeers less. Have fun driving.... I guess I must have missed you and your son at on Feb 7. Perhaps at the next get together.... Take care.

Congrats! Before I bought my 996, I tried one in a Porsche autocross and I was very disappointed with the stock suspension which was pathetic IMO for such a sportcar. After that, I knew RowM030 (and 18" wheels) was a must when I got mine shortly after.

Congrats! Glad you like it. I'm really happy with my sport suspension (H&R). Took the car up Hwy 1 to Mendocino last weekend - what a blast!

Saftywork and oalvarez do you know your camber settings?

whohooooo I just got mine in from suncoast.. It took about 2 weeks.. Can't wait to get this sucker installed..

I think a couple of US dealers have this available for around 1K+shipping. You did better than this from Gert?

My bad, old thread. Nevermind...

damn, another thread brought back to life... its been more than a year, where's those pics??!!!

Just notices that myself. I thought it was just a couple months old! It's a year and a couple months!!!! Ouch. Obviously we can't compare prices at this point for those looking to buy today
