You asked what else (I) recommend doing at that time and that is the upper front strut mounts (which do wear out) and all four drop links (I used stock).

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.

I'm getting ready to refresh the suspension on my 75k mile 2000 C2. I'm trying to stay mostly stock on this car which sees dual use as a daily driver and occasional track car. It has a tired US M030 suspension which I'm thinking of replacing with a new ROW M030. Any recommendations on other suspension components to also replace at the same time? I was thinking about replacing control arms and track rods. Any consideration for improving adjustability or robustness? Any other bushings to consider replacing? Any regrets?
Control arms are a good call. Consider updating to GT3 arms so you can adjust camber in the future.
The upper spring mounts (front) also tend to wear out. Typically people replace those at the same time.

throw arms usually get replaced when you refresh front side, but, if most bushings still got no play in them - what is the point?
you can dismount stock shocks and mail them to bilstein for a re-valve jobs and refresh, it is the cheapest way to go imho. as of what to replace - potentially everything in the suspension can be replaced, only deal is - what is the intended purpose?
Subscribed, I am interested in your choice and what you think. I have US M030 and find it a little harsh, I would like something with a little better compliance by still good on a track.
Mine has 45k on, wondering if a revalve/refresh would work?
I have a us m030 setup on my car with Koni sport rebound-adjustable dampers. The compression damping is non-adjustable. I run them softer on the street but the car still isn't what I would call comfortable around town over ruts and bumps. Highway it's great. I stiffen them up for autocross and track days. You have to remove the Bose subwoofer to adjust the rears. This takes about 5 minutes once you figure it out; I just leave the sub at home on track days. Without upgraded springs or sways the car is still way too soft for all of the power it has on track. I was having to drive very carefully to save the tires and brakes. If I could do only one upgrade it would be gt3 lower control arms to get some camber in the front. As long as you don't run a lot of toe in the front tires, camber won't wear the tires faster, in fact the opposite if your driving hard.
I had a 9 yr old US M030 setup on mine. I changed to a new RoW M030 setup from suncoast and even with the lower ride height it's compliant enough for the road and it also works well on DE days. I looked at lots of kits but figured Porsche did all the r&d on this kit for my car so it must be good and I'm very pleased with it. If I was going for a pure track car I'd go for a coil over setup, probably PSS9's or10's
I converted mine from stock with H&R lowering springs, to M030 RoW. It is absolutely wonderful on street and on track! You asked what else (I) recommend doing at that time and that is the upper front strut mounts (which do wear out) and all four drop links (I used stock). The actual metal of the drop links doesn't wear out, but the pressed in rubber bushings do, so it completed the "New" suspension. Amazing difference.
The M030 RoW kit you are looking at from Suncoast, INCLUDES all new grommets and bushings for the new parts attachment points and sway bars. The kit is very complete.
