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.

Talk about fast shipping....woke up this morning and there was the kit all boxed up on my porch.

I have never received a package from the UK in three days??? Wow!

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.

By the way, that's a beautiful car you have there. How on earth did you find one with so low miles on her?

I love Ferrari's....and think the f355 is just one stunning vehicle!

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!

Thanks for the info. Yesterday Sunset quoted me a lower price than Design 911 (around $980 + $40 - $50 for shipping) for the M030 ROW suspension so I ordered it from there. Still, based on what I've seen so far I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Design 911 sometime in the future.

From the sound of it the suspension kit should be at my door within the next couple of weeks.

Can't wait to see this as I'm hoping to do the same thing in the next year or so!

So...Maybe you could give your box a little rest and put up some before/after pics?
