It might be ok on a 56 Nomad but on a fine German sports car it is just really sad.

Thanks one and all for your input.

Topless,

From the reading that I have done, the US M030 is different from the ROW M030. Am I correct in that the US is a more street friendly version? Also, it seems that for now the ROW version is available as a kit for that great $1100 price. You mentioned the US being a good choice for my purposes at a low price. Can you suggest where I might source the US M030 struts? Do you know if they are available as a kit such as the ROW kit?

Thanks
