M030 S/base compatibility

[navair]

I bought the ROW M030 kit from Sunset Porsche (Oregon) a few years ago for my '02 S.

Here's the fun part: by then Porsche had quit selling the 986 S manual ROW kits, but the parts mgr could still order the Tip kit, leaving it to me to buy extra manual S ROW rear springs for $200.

He explained the Tip ROW has stiffer rear springs (they're close to 100 pounds ass heavier). That's the only difference. I did, and still have the new Tip rears in bags...
