2003 base with 61M miles. Prior owner had changed out the springs and lowered with Eibachs. Car was lowered but after I put 10M miles on the front tires started to rub (only 17's). Found out only springs were changed and not shocks. Also needed a rear control arm and rear right ball joints.

So after much discussion with my mechanic, test driving his '04 Carrera 4S with the PSS9 suspension, a lot of arm bending both ways for price went I with the PSS9 suspension over the M30 or stock suspension. Needed new shock bushings as the others were pretty worn out and felt for nominal cost I changed these out also.

Car handles incredibly well, in corners it feels like the car doesn't move or sway much at all.

Hope this helps.
