Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

I talked to Gert at Carnewal about this one time, and if I remember correctly, he said to use the set of springs designed for the cab, which is close (actually just a little heavier) to the weight of the Targa.

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

After doing a couple of questions, one of them to Porsche Germany, about the possibility of installing the M030 kit for a lower suspension on a 02' 996 Targa. According to my informations, it is not possible "because of the heavier roof". However, I understand that other Targa owners have this kit installed and I wonder if anyone could post his experience about that and, overall, if anyone has inputs about the compatibility of the M030 kit and the 996 Targa from Porsche. In Porsche Order Guides 996 (MY03 Carrera/Targa) the option code M030 is not allowed. The RoW M030 suspension kit, is not too much stiffer than the standard Perhaps it could be installed without any problem. I 'd like to know if someone could tell me something about this point, and explain what about the noise, crackings ,behaviour and well operating system of the sun roof Thanks

POST 2Original post

If something happened to the roof then you'd void the warranty, it'd be an expensive set of springs if that happened...

POST 3Original post

Amigo - I have a 03 Targa with the M030 - I love it, I am not sure where you got your info from. I order mine this way from the Dealership.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Could anyone tell me more about it please?
