i am glad you like your set up i can't wait to get mine fitted i hope it gets rid of the loose feeling ride i have been having . i got started on mine even with the crazy heat we are having. got my kit from suncoast and the front springs were the wrong ones. so the front is all ready to be assembled . they shipped the correct ones today , lot's of drama getting that sorted out .
i started on the rear . lot's of disassembly and i did'nt break anything (yet) , i got one corner complete and most of the other side broken down. hope to finish the rears tomorrow. the air powered ratchet was worth its weight in gold .
How do you know they were the wrong ones? My m030 front springs were orange top, red/ylw bottom. The rears were white top, silver/red bottom. How about yours?
they did not even fit into the strut housing , the part number was wrong and the color markings were wrong also. Sun coast said they buy it complete from porsche , so who ever packaged the kit make a mistake. it was like one number off the correct part number.
the spacers i bought were good up front . i also got new upper bearings too. the rears were the wrong parts like you got but the originals were already a 3mm part and they were in good condition so i just re used them.
just finishing up the rears now , i am almost at 2 full days and starting to really not like doing this anymore , it really is a crappy job to do . i just got the braces and that under tray to put back on. i put on the sway bars i got with the kit even though they are the same size as the 03S bars.
it really sucks that i have to wait til tuesday to put the front back together but what can you do.

Your car has the same rear bar as the M030 but the front isn't as stiff as the M030 (M030 is a little larger and thicker, 10% stiffer). You could also have substituted the non-S rear bar, which is about 10% stiffer than the S version.
that's funny , i checked the thickness with a caliper out of curiosity and the front and rear of the row set up were thicker. i just thought it was the paint , it looked thicker on the new bars.

All the bars are hollow as well, thicker wall material will result in a stiffer bar even if the outer diameter is the same.
