my car is a 2000 base/2.7. I have about 75k on my car. My drop links, and suspension are original. When the car was originally sold, it had the "sport suspension" or M030 option installed. I "believe" that means I have slightly stiffer shocks and/or springs and slightly beefier sway bars, but no idea if my sway bars are only "beefier" than a base, and are essentially no bigger than what a boxster S has, or if mine in fact are thicker than a boxster S... ??

my big question is this : would installation of these Tarrett drop links, make my car handle better assumign I leave all my other parts alone - so I use the Tarrett drop links on my M030 shocks/springs/sways...

one person I spoke to said unless I upgrade to bigger/better sway bars, like GT3 bars, that it wouldn't make any difference to just change out drop links...but i've heard from others, that JUST changing the drop links would help a lot as it would make the existing sway bars more effective..

at about $500 to me - buying JUST tarrett drp links would be an expensive purchase, if it ended up doing nothing to help unless I spent another grand or two on new suspension parts..

thanks.
