Just had full M030 kit fitted with new drop links, and I am impressed. Not harsh at all, but cornering and braking is much improved. A very happy driver. :thumb:

Can i be rude and ask how much you paid for the kit and from which dealer?The Lone Ranger said:I bought the kit from Porsche who were the cheapest believe it or not. My car is a 2002 3.6 C2 coupe. With 89k miles. Delighted with the results. :thumb:
The Lone Ranger said:That's fine, it was £970 from Porsche Teesside. With PCGB discount it was £897. That's cheaper than anywhere else I could find, by some margin. I also bought new drop links and top mounts, which were all fitted together. Car feels fantastic. :thumb:

The M030 is a great sensibly priced option. My car came with it from the factory and I was pretty set on renewing it next year but I've decided I want height adjustment so I'll need proper coilovers.
On a recent NC500 trip we had to wind my mates KW equipped car up a few millimetres for clearance. It was a nice option to have. On M030s it would have been fine but I like my car to sit lower than M030.
I have aftermarket springs on mine but I wouldn't want to do the NC500 at that height.
Things have moved on in 20 years though and our other mate actually had a failed M030 damper after just 21k miles.
For anyone happy with M030 height though, that doesn't need adjustment, then it's pretty unbeatable for value.
