Daily driver question
I found a 968 with M030 option & Sports seats option. Wondering all Pros and Cons of Sports seats(bigger bolsters) and M030 Option for a Daily driver. No Tracking only street driving. Some one told me Stiffer suspension and not good for street. Please advice.
Thanks,

I have sport seats in my S2, and at 6'2" and ahhum... 235 lbs (I'm "big-boned"... it's not all fat...), I don't have any issues or concerns with the seats. Sure, if I were smaller, I might like them even more... because I'd snuggle in even tighter... but IMHO, they are great.

Realize that there are people here who would kill (only a slight exaggeration) for an M030 968... 
Yep, it'll be stiffer on the street. If you can get to it to drive it, you need to, since you're the only true judge of what's acceptable ride quality for you.
The sports seats will make entry-exit a little more awkward, but if you find that unbearable, there are likely some folks here who will trade seats with you, and pay some sweetening on the deal.
If you decide not to buy it, post the contact info here, please.

I love my sport seats and everyone else that rides with me always comments on how comfortable they are. I only weight about 200 pounds and to me the bolsters fit just right. I wouldn't worry about that stiffer suspension, the seats should help smooth the ride out

I have the "factory sport option" on my 944, not the M030, but whatever comes with the koni's and stuff. I drive on some pretty rough roads on my way to work, and the car felt fine. But of course, you're the only one who can decide if it's too harsh for you.

There's a big difference between that and the m030 of the 968...

I know, but it's still a stiff suspension, and I have no problems. Just adding what little I could.
