Read about this on the Porsche Club of America Website, re: a rare suspension option which involves factory strengthening of the chassis etc. Does anyone have it fitted? Sounds interesting! http://www.pca.org/panorama/sample_article_3.html Extract:- "There is also the new mystery of the "Minus 30" or "Thirty Low" Porsche Exclusive suspension option MX74 per the article "Hard-Core Suspension Tuning" in the August/ September 2001 Christophorus. This is listed on the British Porsche web site as a "Sports chassis (-30mm)" option on 996 coupes both C2 and C4 but not cabriolets and is very expensive at £1.727,25 vs. the regular (M030) sports chassis at £352,50! There is no listing of this option on the North American web site under "Porsche Car Configurator." Mike has researched the MX74 suspension and found that it consists of different springs and shocks as well as front strut mounts and front bumpstops. The rear bumpstops and stabilizers are the same as the M030 spec. The parts apparently cannot be ordered without the vehicle identification number (VIN) of a car that was originally equipped with the MX74 option since there are also some chassis "reinforcement" measures involved in the installation which is performed in the Exclusive workshop and not on the assembly line."

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.

There is a difference between Sports Chassis, and Sports Suspension, one being more involved. Not aware of any chassis strengthening though.
I read that the US spec 996 has a softer suspension set up than the European equivalent...and as such their options are not quite the same as ours.
