How about ROW M030 for the non-Turbo, 2002 C2 6-speed cars?

Is it 000.044.500.27?

Thanks,

Bill

That number (000.044.500.27) is for the (10 mm lower) US M030 suspension MY02-04, Coupe, 6-speed.

If you want the ROW M030 (30 mm lower) then it is 000.044.500.35.

Where is the best place to buy these kits?

Jeff at Sunset is telling me the "ROW" kit he's always sold the the other 10mm lowering part number.

Sunset Imports can get you RoW parts they just take longer since they are not sold in the US.

RoW M030 is the standard for Sport Suspension everywhere except US/Canada. Just be sure you want 30 mm lower.

My concern is he doesn't really know what he's doing.

I told him I wanted ROW M030, and he came back with that 10mm part nr.,

but refers to it as ROW.

If you don't got the full ROW route, it doesn't seem worth the cost or effort

to bother with a USA M030. ???

Are you talking to Jeff Clark at Sunset Imports?

He definitely know the difference between US and RoW M030 suspensions. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.

You could always order it from Gert@carnewal.com -- because of the strong Euro you will pay a bit more.

Yes, Jeff at Sunset.

I wrote: "Can you quote me a price for a ROW M030 suspension setup, to fit a 2002 C2."

His reply: "The suspension kit for an 02 C2 with manual trans coupe is 000-044-500-27"

I Googled that part no, found a hit on a German Porsche factory website and it didn't look like the right thing. That is when I ask here on the forum for a verification.

I asked Jeff to double-check for me: "Can you double check that part number. I want the ROW M030 kit. I believe that part number is 000.044.500.35."

His reply: "The ROW m030 kit that we've always sold and people have been happy with

it so long as their expectations are a slightly lowered car but with

stiffer suspension but not the bone jarring suspension that the 30mm kit

would be...."

He also states the 30mm kit costs more than double the one he originally listed.

So now I don't know what to do. I'm not sure he'll get me the correct kit.

Loren,

Gert tells me 000.044.500.27 is a RoW M030 kit.

000.044.500.35 is the X74 kit.

(does 10mm lower mean with respect to the original ROW height?)

What -are- people buying that they are refering to a ROW M030?
