It must be one of the very few things you can get cheaper in the UK  Surely well worth at this price if you want just the refresh.

I was shocked at how low this was with shipping applied from the UK. Lowest in the states closest to me is Suncoast, but their price prior to shipping is 1088 usd so by the time shipping is applied, they would be 150 or more.
Hate to pinch too many pennies, but in this economy, I have too.
Only reason I did this is because my b-day is coming up and I haven't bought myself anything in a while.

That bundle together is a great deal. The individual costs if purchased all separately can be at least double that package price.
By the way, your car looks great as is! Very clean, looks good with those wheels, and the paint looks awesome.
Will look even better with the ROW, looking forward to seeing the results!

It's the way the car should have come in the first place. Noticeably more oriented towards sport than comfort compared to the stock suspension. I've got 17"s adn the ride is still not jarring over ruts and bumps. The drop doesn't hurt the car's looks either. Enjoy.

I put the row m030 on my car 18 months ago. Loved it with the stock 17" wheels. Upgraded to 18" wheels recently and love the combo even more! Just my humble experience, but I think this suspension package works best with 18's. Grip level is fabulous and the ride is still very good.
By the way, when I bought the package from Sunset, I paid $974. But that was almost 2 years ago.

Looking forward to seeing the "after" photos.
I've been planning to do the same upgrade when it's time to freshen up my suspension. Ever since I bought my F355 Spider, the Boxster's stock suspension feels a little dead.

When I was building my 64MGB I used to get all the major parts from England at a much cheaper price than available here and as with quick shipping as you said. I once got a 5 speed conversion kit , including trans, within a week. They like cars over there. Ed

I'm considering ordering the kit from Design 911 as well. Is the package Design 911 has for sale the same as the M030 ROW package available through places like Suncoast and Sunset?

Yes, it is the complete kit. I was going to post some pictures later today now it's installed. No regrets!
