Euro M 030 Suspension swap

[ivass]

Guys,

I finally got it!!! The Euro Sport suspension for my 99 C4 is here and I am going to change it in the next few weeks. I got the Euro M 030 springs, shocks, sway bars (and sway bar bushings), and rear additional springs (the rubber bushing on the top of the shock). According to my dealer those are the only components that are different between the regular and sport suspension. I also ordered new front additional springs, and new dust covers (bellows). Are there any other components that should be replaced? I was looking at some of the spacers (996.333.511.02 rear and 996.343.525.00 front). They come in 3mm or 6.5mm in the front, and 0.5mm and 3.5mm in the back. I am not quite sure if these components affect the ride height or not. Should I replace them as well?

All input is appreciated,

Ivo

I bought a set of the shorter spacers when I did my M030 upgrade - the originals were the thicker ones. At the least, it buys you back some of the 10mm tolerance that you might lose if you get a long set of springs. In my case, I seemed to gain an extra 1/8 inch of lowering beyond what was expected. For me, that was worth the $28 extra I paid for the parts.
