These are coil overs, so even if the car is heavier, you can adjust the height to the correct setting.

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.

Thinking about replacing the struts and springs since my car has 85k, and will probably try to source a used row mo30 set if one becomes available in the next couple months or so.
Can someone tell me if the row mo30 suspension is different for a tip, 6speed, c4 and c2. I have a 99 c2 tip and want to make sure I have my ducks in a row before I acquire something I can't use. Thanks guys, Scott.
Ahh, thanks so much...looks like finding the right used kit might be tough...I wonder if this place I've heard of...Carnewal...stocks 'em. (Just kidding! I'll probably be in contact with you shortly Gert...thanks again). Scott.
Gert, can I ask what the differences would be between a 996TT six speed and 996TT Tip PSS9 kit, if any? Wondering now as I am guessing that if Porsche created different Mo30 kits for a tip or 6 speed 996, there would also be a reason to differentiate if one was to get a suspension set up for the 996TT with a tip transmission. Thanks in advance.
The only difference between the factory suspension of the 996TT 6-speed and Tip are the rear springs.
The Tip version is slightly heavier in the rear, so this version has a different spring that allow the car to sit at the same ride height as the 6-speed version.
There is only one PSS-9 (soon to be PSS-10) kit for all 996TT's.
These are coil overs, so even if the car is heavier, you can adjust the height to the correct setting.
Not sure that I understand your question correctly.
The 996TT and C4S came with M030 as standard.
The 16 kits that I mentioned above are for the 996 C2 and C4 version for which the M030 sport suspension was optional.
I have the US version of the C4s which has the raised bumper profile. If I found a Euro C4S suspension that was available I could install it in my car and have the better suspension. Actually you answered my question by your responce! - THANKS
The only difference between the US and RoW M030 of the C4S are the shocks and the springs.
The sway bars are the same.
Great looking car btw, is that Atlas Grey ?
Thanks for the help Gert.
To be honest the car in the pic is speced out the same as mine (C4S Black) but mine is waiting to get on the ship to Germany and should be here in 6 weeks.
Tim,
I explained in my previous post - same options - but mine is in route. Currently in Baltimore. I guess I need to edit in a disclaimer in the Photo before I offend someone!
I guess I missed Gert's question in the previous post. I don't think Phil will mind you using a pic of his car. At least this way Phil's car gets to see the light of day occasionally. Phil will only get pissed off if two things happen 1) if you drive it and 2) if you leave it outside for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Absolutely not true. Take a look under the trunk lid of any C4S or TT and you will not see "030" in the option list. The C4S and TT each have a unique suspension tuning, but are not designated as sports suspensions. The US has a unique suspension with a higher ride height on these models that their comparable ROW suspensions just like the other Carrera models.
It is true that there are different sport suspensions for different models:
C2 Coupe 6-sp
C2 Coupe tip
C4 Coupe 6-sp
C4 Coupe tip
C2 Cab/Targa 6-sp
C2 Cab/Targa tip
C4 Cab/Targa 6-sp
C4 Cab/Targa tip
Each of these models has a different Sports Suspension. The reason is Porsche uniquely tuned each for the particular model's weight. Spring rates, lengths, shock tuning and sway bar sizes all vary by model as a means of optimizing handling for each model. The choice to go with a tip is not only lesser performance from worse gearing and slower shifting, but also adds over 100 lbs to the weight of a 6-sp. Porsche tries to help with stiffer spring rates and sway bars to control the weight better. Cab and Targa models are 200 lbs over comparably equiped coupes. A C4S starts the scales 276 lbs over the same year C2. Porsche chunkiest 996 was the 996TT Cab tip with a hardtop, topping the scales right at 4000 lbs...yes there is a such thing as a 2-ton 911.
It is actually very surpising that Porsche goes through the expense of uniquely tuning each model. With the aftermarket they don't. Hence why they have a PSS9 for a C2 and a C4, but don't differentiate for tips over 6-SPs or Cabs over coupes.
Mine will not be a garage queen! To make it up to Phil I'll make available pics with dirt on the car so that he can pretend that he actually uses it! Just wait until you see his upcoming adventures at Hockenheim!
Oh Steve, if Phil sees a pic of a car that even looks like his and the car has dirt on it, he will:
a) break out in a cold sweat, or
b) begin to hyperventilate, or
c) go screaming from the room, or
d) make a mad dash out to the garage, soiling his trousers along the way, to verify that his car has not caught the same "dirt disease," or
e) call his therapist for an emergency phone session, or
f) all the above.
My money is on "F".
BTW, how soon do you think you can get those pics posted?
