After test driving a stock 2000 996 C4 last week I found the suspension firmer than I expected after hearing the 996 "has gone all soft" from magazines and a friend. However I'm intrigued by the M030 suspension option. Unfortunately I can't find any comparison of the stock 996 suspension (pre-facelift) with the M030 on our lovely rough, potted and bumpy B-roads or unclassified back roads. Can anyone offer any experiences of the ride quality of the M030 on these challenging roads? Thanks. Migration info. Legacy thread was 13204

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

No. A lot of the faux GT3s you see have sports suspension and other sport related stuff like exhaust. Might want to look for one of those. Migration info. Legacy thread was 13223
Bear in mind, though, that those sport suspension, exhaust, wheel etc mods push your insurance up, possibly past the level a GT3 would have been in the first place. Insurance companies are annoying like that Migration info. Legacy thread was 13236
The insurance for mods is what I was struggling with until I found that Norwich Union Direct are pretty good for all the GT3-style mods (see my post yesterday in General Porsche Chatter section), although if I find a car with them all on I'll be getting it in writing that 18" wheels, M030, PSE and GT3 aerokit are indeed covered for only 15% more than stock, which is what they've quoted me. Sounds too good to be true. Migration info. Legacy thread was 13238
