[h4x0r7000]

howdy all,

does anyone have an pics of a m030 suspension kit for the 944 turbo?

dunno if mine are just standard or what? sorry bit of a n00b question []

anyways heres a pic of the suspension on mine:

They look like the standard non adjustable Sachs struts

The M030 have a threaded collar at the bottom to allow height adjustment - they are also yellow and have a triangular Koni sticker on them (unles its fallen off)

what would i need to change over to m030 suspension?

 

[jackregan]

thats standard suspension and brakes, you would need hubs, struts, arb - and probably some other stuff I have forgotten...

what would you recommend over the m030 upgrade? the koni dampers?

KW - if you can afford it, otherwise Koni is a reasonable lower cost option.
- I hope those discs clean up a bit []

KW is abit expensive for the budget at the moment.

I think you are better off with aftermarket suspension over any of the stock stuff. Even M030 would feel old school compared with modern suspension - though that might be what you're after. IN any case to upgrade to M030 wouldn't be that much cheaper than going KW. The thing I like about KW is that it is not race suspension on a road car, it is road suspension (the v3 model is anyway).

Stumping up £1300 for KW's isn't the ending of the spending [], still considering what to do with my own set up, around a grand for Koni's, anti roll bars, some bushes and geo, or around £1600 for KW's and geo etc, and that's if I do the torsion bars myself, if you get an indy to do the lot it could be around £2k.

what about upgrading the brakes to m030?

will i still need to change the hubs? same with the rear?

If you can get some M030 hubs + spindles then thats the way to go. They are like hens teeth....Failing this, get a pair of adapter brakets.Around £80 ish / pair... First you need to source a pair of M030 calipers though...They will be around £200ish + you might even need to rebuild them at that.. PS the pistons + seal kits are £16/kit + for that you get 1 piston + 2 seals.. bearing in mind there are 4 / caliper.....
The rears have the same size caliper as any S2/turbo, so no point doing those....
