Hmmm... now I'm thinking Sunset forgot to place my order w/ Germany until I asked them for an update on delivery. I really hope that isn't the case...

Thx guys...it looks like usncost is the place then...

as for the stiffness, I thought I had read that the ROW M030 was a better tuned setup and that it was not harsher that the stock suspension...untill you start pushing ...

I was amazed at the amount of ride comfort on the freeway and around town given the stiffness in the corners. Porsche did a great job tuning this setup to I think be the best of both worlds.

It's most definitely more stiff than the stock suspension. Personally, I love it, but if I had to drive around on broken pavement all day, it might not be my preference.

I called Sunset 2 weeks ago for mine, and I got what I was told was the last kit in the US, it arrived here on Thurs. Install is on Monday. I took Insite's advice and went ahead with Che's rear toe arms to correct toe/ camber and also replaced the front strut tops.

I'll let ya know how it is in a few days!

I just finished my install, it is much stiffer and you will feel every road joint, but is well worth it.

I don't find the ride compromise to be an issue at all. Cornering ability is greatly improved, it sits lower, though I wish the rear went down as much as the front. I find it an excellent compromise in terms of greatly improving cornering with a barely detectable decrease in ride comfort. By the way, I am on 18" wheels.

I doubt it,they are top notch service there.

Perhaps other people ordered a different spec RoW kit. Remember not all Boxsters share the same suspension kits,there are several variables;year & transmission.
