Default Lower US 993 to ROW Ht

I have a 993 cabriolet want to lower from US height to ROW. I have been able to purchase the M030 springs and rear Bilstein B-8 shocks. The front B-8 shocks are back ordered and have been forever. Do I have other options?

I went with Koni Sport Actives and Eibach springs on my cab. Love the stance and ride. Not sure whether its at ROW height, but its significantly lower than US spec

I lowered my 96 Carrera to ROW height (and more room to go lower) with a set of B6XT from Carnewal and reused the OE US springs. The ride is just a little bit stiffer than the 25+ years old OE Monroe but not in any way harsh IMO.

I Just replaced the B8's with new B8's on my 993 up front this summer. I didn't have issues finding them. I also run Eiback Black lowering spring s at ROW height.

I had my original Monroe’s replaced with Bilstein B6s and original springs which lowered my C4 to ROW height.

I performed this conversion about 30 days ago. Purchased my parts from Carnewal because of B/O issues in US. Went with the M033 springs instead for easier ride. My experience with Bilstein they tend to be a more controlled ride because of gas vs hydraulic design. Lowered my 97 coupe exactly 30mm all around to ROW spec.

Carnewal sold me package of Koni shocks with M033 springs for ROW height. Very happy with it.

Another satisfied guy who went with Carnewal's: M033 springs and Koni special actives. When I bought them they were still called Koni FSD's. Perfect for me : street duty.

Default 993 Cabriolet

I completed the transition with 030 springs and B8 Bilstein and final result lowered front and back about 1in to ROW and looks great
