Installing ROW-M030

i would like to install the kit myself . the front looks fairly straight forward but the rear makes me a little nervous with all the disassembly. tips and must replace parts on this project would be great.

I'm about to tackle this myself. From looking at rennsport.org there is something called a compensating ring that needs to be changed out - replace with 986.333.504.02. This piece is 3mm thick vs the 6mm on the rear of the car now. You'll need a spring compressor. I have both the "100 boxster projects" from Pelican and the Bentley manual. The procedure seems less difficult in the Pelican book. All I know at this point.

Wayne's instructions in Pelican's book and on their site is great. The rear instructions are a little more brief than I'd have liked though.

i have been looking over the pelican directions. they seem to be straight to the point . i picked up a spring compressor and pneumatic impact driver from harbor freight . i will order the comp ring . i did hear mention of that somewhere . i would like that extra 3 mm of drop too.

Don't take any short cuts and just disconnect everything except the brake lines and it makes it a whole lot easier.
