I would be interested in the stock porsche equipment if I can find the for about the same prices as aftermarket stuff.
the porsche stuff is actually cheaper than the aftermarket stuff. not sure what the price is now, but in '07 you could get the M030 kit (sways, springs, and struts) for $1,000 from sunset imports. for comparison purposes, aftermarket struts will run you $800, H&R springs are $400, and H&R sways are another $450.

insite I'm shocked,you saying you'd prefer the M030 stuff compared to the RoW 030 equipment? I really liked my RoW 030 suspension but at the same time I wish it lowered the car's stance a little more. Handling was great with the RoW 030 kit though.

i probably should have been more clear; both are M030, but the RoW M030 has the euro ride height and is indeed the one i prefer. i talk about this stuff a lot and just figure the RoW part of the M030 package is a given (why order U.S. spec?). the U.S. M030 kit doesn't lower the car at all. when i say M030, i mean RoW M030. thanks for catching that, blink.
