    How did you come upon the mix/match front 'S' and rear base sway bar combination? Bigger and stiffer of each, or something else? Don't the shocks have to be matched with the springs? How much difference between your setup and the factory M030 configuration from a driving standpoint? I'm not planning any track time, and only started thinking about a suspension upgrade after driving a friend's RUF 987S with Carrera S engine. The power was nice (understatement!), but I really noticed flatter cornering and better steering through the twisties around where I live. As a starting point, I'd like something as close to Porsche OEM as possible, thinking I can go further later if I really want to go crazy Sunset quoted me about $920 + shipping for the whole ROW M030 kit, which I figured wasn't as bad as lots of other upgrades. I'm estimating $300 or a little more for installation (not something I want to tackle myself, having never touched a suspension before) Try $1000 install with $100 alignment. I found an independent with really low labor rates and had it done for $575. It's about 11 hours for the job.

    I'm having trouble getting the top cover straight on my 2000 S. The Bentley manual makes it look like you just need to loosen the nut that holds the rotating arm that pulls the cover down and adjust the arm position. There's a pin-in-slot on my car that locates the rotating arm so it can only take one position. I need to adjust the mechanism so that the cover isn't pulled down quite so far in the front and farther in the back. I'd appreciate any help. Here's some pictures of the top cover out of place.

    Where'd you find the tan one, that would work for me.

    So no one has put a glove box in a pre-03 car?

    Typical tire noise is more a factor of the tread design than anything else. Try using a different tire design. Also, if the tires are worn, they can be more noisy than a new set. The wheel size can have some effect on this also, but you should be able to find a quieter tire that works for you.

    Wow, old thread. I don't see that procedure in my manual, pages 62-65. How is someone supposed to know to wait before starting?
