M030 suspension alternatives?

[jimbo22]

If you have a 996 without official M030 sports suspension and you want to retrofit a similar item what would I be looking at?

Can you get the official M030 set and retro fit? Is it just springs or dampers also? Are there any alternative aftermarket alternatives which are similar? And how much do they cost??

Thanks guys, really want sports suspension (as have driven a car with it and now it is a must have!!) but am finding it very hard to source a car with the right spec and M030.

I think you're looking at getting some KW's...

[jimbo22]

What's that?

[verysideways]

You can get M030 shocks and springs for a 996 for 995 euros (plus fiting of course).
edit - includes new front and rear anti roll bars too

Would an OPC fit it or would you need to go to a specialist??

[verysideways]

Anyone could fit it who can wield a spanner, but getting the geometry reset afterwards is critical (ask nervous!).
Get a decent porsche indie to do the lot, it'll save you time and money.

Can you reccomend anyone along the M4 (I'm in Bristol area)

The place i use is also on the M4, not too far from you - Northway's just off junction 12 (West Reading).
Takes 45 minutes to get to junction 18 (my sister lives there).

Thanks mate - thats a pretty good price i reckon

Remember you'll probably have to pay 20% vat on top of the advertised price. It normally mentions when it's included.

[verysideways]

yeah, i was shocked (pun intended)

KW Suspension is what all the Manthey Racing GT3 cars have. Adjustable stainless stell coilovers

I think Recaro are the Uk importer and JZM fit them as the UK Manthey Racing agent...
