yeah if I have to add 600 to the ROW030 kit then I am getting much closer to the PSS10 price, they are going for $2300 on tirerack at this time.
Some people say the PSS10 are harder to install ? are they ?
Do they require anything aside of what come with the package at tirerack ?
Adjustable drop links are tempting as well while I am in there
FIY: I plan on tracking the car 4 or 5 times per year but no only for fun, not chasing the clock. The suspension upgrade is just to get back into 'sharper' ride.

pss10 harder to install because of the extra height adjustment and corner balancing,,,, etc? its not hard to do, but more timely to setup.... m030 need no such thing.
though adjustable drop links are nice.... they are used mainly to get rid of pre load and alignment in adjustable sway bars.... m030 sways are not adjustable so the stock drop links should do just fine.... but it seems that you have a hole burning in your pocket.....

If you did GT3 or other aftermarket bars, you'd need to machine the stock drop links or get the adjustable ones. I have GT3 bars on my setup and have the Tarett drop links. They're cool to look at too, but of course once you install them you never see them again.

Keep it simple and straight forward this time. Since you are doing it yourself, you can decide to add all the "fancy" stuff later if you think you need it then.

Decided to keep it easy and ordered the ROW M030 from Suncoast, with the brake caliper screws just to be safe.
I hope the bushing will all look good if not I'll have to wait for another delivery. I decided to put PSS10 on the back burner as I don't track that often and I wanted to take on a fun project. And the PSS10 seems to require a little bit more setup with the ride height and corner balancing, and there is nobody locally I can trust with that

I'm also considering the RoW M030 installation. How difficult a DIY is it? I'm a good mechanic and not afraid to tackle anything but I must admit, I know nothing about suspensions.

there is a good DIY on renntech
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...nsion-install/
Many say that it is a very feasible job for a single person. It is straight swap, so nothing new needs to be installed. the price is pretty good.
I'll post another DIY when I am done with it but I think the renntech DIY is pretty good.
It seems the mod is 'harder' on C4 as you need to remove the ball joint and you need special tool for that. I took quite some time to look into my suspension to see how everything comes together and it seems not too complicated.
I am most curious about how much force will be required to take things apart after 8 years that they have been stuck together under that load.. but I am about to figure it out.
May be I should WD40 at a couple of place ? any advices on that ?
