M030 = tequipment suspension?

[Jinster]

Porsche Centre Melbourne is selling the Tequipment Sport Suspension package that includes the shorter/stiffer springs, thicker roll bars and firmer dampers (=shock absorber?) for AUD$2990 installed (around US$2000). Is this the same as the ROW M030 option people talk about?

I have a stock 97 model. Is it worth the upgrade?

[LVDell]

Yes, but it is much cheaper through Gert. (a.k.a. carnewal) his site lists it at 995 Euro (1200USD or 1570 AUD).

Thanks for the reply LVDell.

Almost got ripped off by the dealers again... they are running this "deal" as a limited special..

[LVDell]

typical of the stealers!

Drive a car with it before you do it.

Jinster,

I just did something similar to my 996 and did it through Weltmeister in Richmond. Give them a call if you want to drop the 986. I think if you want to drop it by 20mm they are doing the change over for about $1200 I think. They are using H&R springs from memory.

I went for the complete PSS9 setup on my car though. I bought the gear through Gert at Carnewall too. Also keep in mind if you want to stay stock the PCM offer is not that bad when you consider what they charge for the install. I paid $1400 for the PSS9 installation but that did require a corner balance. We pay more for goods and services in Australia as there are not that many shops that deal with Porsche out here

Regards

I will sending my Boxster to Weltmeister next Tuesday for a major service. I will talk to them about the mods. Thanks Aurthur.

Btw, whereabouts do you live? Might have seen you around. I am in Richmond.

I live in Burwood East but I have a number of clients in Richmond so I am there constantly.
