Stock S vs M30 ROW suspension

[thomschoon]

Need some help, I have an 'o2 S that I am thinking of changing over to the M30 ROW suspension, what is the benefit other than ride height? What are the sway bar diameters? essentially what benefit will I get for a daily driver??

Thanks

The ROW M030 setup has the same swaybars as the US M030. In addition to being a little lower (~0.25" IIRC), the ride is a little taughter, but not hugely so. For a daily driver, the ride height drop aloows the wheels to fil out the wheelwell's a little better so it does help the looks. As for overall performance, I think you would be hard pressed to tell any difference until you hit the racetrack where the slightly improved damping and lower CG will most likely improve lap times. The best part is that you get these improvements without sacrificing useability. The Nuespeed springs I used to have on my car dropped it 1.25" which made speed bumps and even some gas stations tricky.

... What are the sway bar diameters?

You can find the diameter, thickness (yes, the sway bars are tubular) and relative stiffness specs at the bottom of this link: http://www.cb-racing.com/boxster_030.html

M030 knocked 8.5 seconds off my lap times at TGPR. i went from a 1:17 to a 1:09.5 (fast enough to pass the C5's).
