Did you replace anything else, particularly struts? I have M030 sways in the garage, but was waiting to get new struts/springs. Mine are at 58,000 miles, so old (15 years) but not terrible.

This may convince me to do the sways early...

CraigM; DO It! DO it now! I was thinking about waiting until I had the entire kit, but then thought I could assess each change individually. I can tell you without hesitation that even though I still have the stock springs and struts this change by itself is remarkable. Easy to do and don't even need to get an alignment afterward. Single most effective upgrade to date.

edit: P/N # 996 343 701 23 front and 986 333 701 21 rear for reference.

Wow sounds like your last Porsche car

I'm also in this territory.... wouldn't be able to justify 'needing' buying another Pcar so hell yeah, I'm keeping this one broke down or not! Go Go Roadster!

Beside it's just a car, cool one for sure but nothing to worry too much about. Not much can't be fixed on those little 986s

Priceless toy - there... go regret
