Thanks

I'd really like to sample one with the row suspension on it before I decide to do it or not. Would anyone in the KC area who has this setup care to let me at least ride in it? Its worth at least a couple of Boulevard Bully Porter's after we're done.

blue, do I correctly understand that Boxsters in Europe are sold either with RoW or RoW M030 suspensions, and that both in the USA and RoW (rest of world?) suspensions the M030 versions are the sportier (lower, stiffer) ones?

On my last trip to Europe I liked how their Boxsters all seemed lower than here -- by just the right amount. I just need some light thrown on all this nomenclature.

Thx.

Porsche has two different ride heights on these cars, one for the US and one for everywhere else, RoW. I'm not sure what Canada gets. If you buy a US spec suspension kit, you get the taller ride height, if you buy the RoW kit, you get the 20mm/10mm reduction in ride height.

There are US and RoW versions of both the the M030 (sport) or standard suspensions. So you could get the lower ride height with RoW in either flavor. Although I've not seen the standard RoW suspension offered for sale here, I'm sure it's possible.
