JIC and NYC Commute Not mixing. JIC to Mo30 or x 74

So, I installed the JIC Cross coilovers on my car, thinking that my commute would be limited to trains and taxies. Well recently I changed jobs and now my commute now takes me from Brooklyn to Stamford,Ct. (1 hour) Anyway, the commute is killing me and the car. So I am thinking the suspension has got to go. I am thinking at the very least, the MO30. I am also thinking X74, but is it the same deal as the JIC suspension. Gert at Carnewal tells me that the X74 will work on a 01 996,despite what porsche says about it only working on the 02's and above. So, what do you think? I will say it again, I love the JIC but its my only car. Any comments or suggestions?

I wouldn't put the X74 on the 01. Only the RoWM030. Especially for what you are going to use it for.

RoW M030, there is a reason Porsche doesn't recommend the X74 for 99-01 cars, I would trust them on this.

wanan trade ur JIC's for my PSS9's and M030 sways?

Trade out your JIC for PSS9. JIC is more oriented to the racer, street driving, especially East Coast just wont mix. I run the JIC and love them, except our roads in AZ are much nicer

I say leave the P-Car alone and obtain a beater to commute with, I just recently obtained a beater this Monday, I was also putting too many miles on my Targa driving into the City each day. So Hello Land Rover, Now I am ready for the NYC Cabbies, Come Boyz Let's Play ! :-)

030. My x73 is no problem as a daily driver, LI into Manhattan and back. I would suggest going with the factory suggested upgrade for your car, RoW 030. I rode in my brother's '00 C2 with RoW 030 just after installing my x73, the ride is very similar as is the handling. If you want to try mine out sometime give me a ring. Chris

Whoever wants to, sell your used ones to me.

Chris, thank you for the offer. I have been convinced that the ROW is the way to go. I like the factory deal with the ROW. I thought about the PSS9's, but I would go bloody nuts if it was just slightly better. Also, I am a little worried about the PSS9's ability to hold up to snow and salt. I have ""lost" the original suspension bits. Is all I need, the row030 parts or do you need to keep any of the original suspension parts for the ROW 030 to work. I would love to get a second car, but the logistics and costs of a second car are far different for those of us in NYC and those in the suburbs. Most find one car exccessive, two is just wasteful. As for the sale of the JIC, I would love to do this locally. I don't want to break any rules, so email me your thoughts.

I believe the RoW 030 kit includes everything you need, others might know for sure.

The RoW kit I ordered from Sunset had everything. Shocks, Springs, Sways, mounts, bump stops. There is a picture of the kit on Carnewal's webstie. I got mine for $1k shipped. Install is about $500 to $1200 depending on whom you go with. Install rates are ALL OVER the place.

Great, thank you. One last question, are the RoW sways the same as the GT3 sways?

Shipping would be negligible. Send me a pm..

Nope, the adjustable GT3 sways are available to add on though. The RoW sways are not adjustable. I think most people get those. I didn't know about the GT3 sways so you would have to solicit others for input.

Chris I have a ride if you want to take a trip down to the shore. Lincoln

why not get PSS9... they are adjustable and many people are very happy with these... from the shock upgrades surveyed on here... PSS9 seems the way to go.

The kit does not include front bumpstops, as they are the same as those on the standard suspension. Also, dust boots are not included in the kit.

yetis, how much for the JICs? can you PM me?

ROW for what your looking for.

No comment on whether X74 will be appropriate for your model year. But I can tell you I have X73 on an 02 and I find the ride very comfortable. I rode in a 030 setup a while back and thought it was harsher. I have a job going in Darien so also would let you take a spin if you're interested. Dave
