M030 Strut/Shock Replacement

[pek771]

Hi all,
I put in an M030 from Suncoast about five years ago. I suspect the struts and shocks are losing their cookies. Anyone ever seen replacements for these? I recall they are shorter than stock, so replacing them with stock struts would be fairly fruitless.
TIA

Apart from another set of M030 struts/shocks I have no idea but am curious to know.

I have been researching replacements also, but completely confused. I have a European Spec 2000S I believe it has the M030 option, almost certain. So in the US this would be known as the ROW M030 upgrade? In other thread I saw KONI Sports or FSD recommended as replacements, which is best for that option? Well I will be following your thread to see where this goes.

[Ciao]

Do you expect aftermarket products will outlast the M030 struts/shocks?
It seems 5 years is a short duration for the M030. I have Bilstein coilovers on my Audi that are 11 years old and seem to be doing well. So, I was considering replacing my Box's suspension with Bilstein coilover for the Box

My M030 was 115k and 13 years old until swapped out for no other reason than i wanted it perfect and box fresh. It would have still kept going. Indeed the danker Dyno shows them all as perfectly useable. I also know how a new M030 car drives as I did that to my previous Boxster and of course you can tell the difference.
