I've bought an M030 ROW kit for my 2001 C2 coupe. Because of the car's age, I'm planning to build up completely new strut assemblies, rather than rebuild the originals with the kit parts. Does a new front stut top bearing (P/N 996-343-515-05, I believe) require lubrication prior to assembly? What sort of lube is recommended? TIA!

OEM front strut top bearings are plug and play, no extra lubrication before installing is needed.

hello, sorry but what is the M030 ROW for the 996 C2 2001?

I have the same car and if I try to decode the codes written in the front hood explore every option and "ROW SPECIAL" ...

The M030 option is a stiffer, sport-oriented suspension option available in two versions, one for the US which does not lower the car's bumper height, and one for the Rest Of the World (ROW) for everyone else. I'm not sure, but I assume the build option label will contain "M030" if you have the sport suspension.
