ROW vs H&R vs Bilstein vs etc?

[fsmartin]

I have recently purchased a 2000 Boxster with 23k miles and am ready to make some changes. The first is an upgraded suspension. My first thought is to go with what the Germans intended by replacing the stock suspension with the M030 ROW, but am not clear on how it compares with the many other options out there. I undrstand the advantages of the adjustability of the coilover idea, but not sure if the extra money is worth it as I track it almost never. Are there any thoughts out there on how the ROW suspension (with euro sway bars) would compare if I was looking at a set of H&R springs (or comparable) with new sway bars?

thanks in advance for any feedback

Aftr furtehr reading on this forum, I ran across one thread that said teh M030 US an dM030 ROW has the same sway bars - is tha true? Would I be wasting money to buy new sway bars instead of using the stock ones?

I was also wondering about the H&R coilovers. I have a stock 00' S with the M030. Great for fast driving but harsh on rough city streets. Is there any application out there that can give you the best of both worlds on a 986? I mean smooth in the city and then adjust for track, fast driving etc. Would H&R coilovers be the right ones for that? What is the best for this? TIA!
