I'm interested in the ride characteristics. I have the RoW M030 on my 2002C2, but would like a lower stance, but don't want to sacrifice handling or ride. I don't want it to "porpoise" like some setups I've had - progressive spring rates tend to do that at times.
Let me know your experiences.
Thanks.

It looks like a previous owner put the H&R springs on in 2005. Over the stock shocks. I don't have any records of shock work in the papers that came with the car.
I am happy with the ride as a daily driver that gets pushed once in awhile.
It's in the garage since mid-November while I working saving for a transmission R&R:-( so I'm trying to remember the details of how it drives.
The shocks seems to have held up very well. Damping and rebound are right in the range i like for ride versus handling. My main worry is in to and out of steering changes. I either have some worn suspension parts (at almost 100,000 miles that's no suprise) or I have a lot to learn about getting a 996 in and out of corners right. Especially if it's not a smooth corner.
