A RoW (Rest of World, I believe) suspension is the M030 option that some cars came with, basically Porsche's sport suspension for the Boxster.

The US-spec M030, which isn't in a nice put-together kit like the RoW version is, unfortunately, does not change the car's stock ride height, but still provides the improved handling the sport suspension is supposed to. The RoW kit lowers the car about 20mm front, 10mm rear, (so call it 3/4" front, maybe 1/4 to 1/2" rear). Since it's easier to come by the RoW suspension, for less, in a nice all-in-one package, and also because people love to lower their cars, this is usually the route people go without going as extreme as a Bilstein PSS9 setup.

Check the options sticker under your car's hood to see if you have the M030 option already so you don't end up buying the wrong parts.
