Tony Daniel Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Front or rear, M030 suspension or standard, auto or manual ??? And I'm not sure if PASM or non PASM makes a difference. The only way to make sure is to remove the bush and physically measure the anti-roll bar in the area it is clamped using a vernier or micrometer.

Dave in France Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks Tony I'm going to renew both front & rear. The car is a Manual I'm sure it's just standard suspension,how would I know if it was the M030? Sorry if it sounds like I'm.asking stupid questions but I'm very new to Boxster ownership.

If the car had M030 suspension from new it would be listed on the options sticker which can be found on the inside of your service manual or under the front boot lid (its the 030 shown in the picture above). There is also a possibility that somebody has retro fitted it in which case you would only know if the car sits lower, rattles your teeth over bumps but handles brilliantly round corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
