Guys - I just talked to a local Porsche Indie and they swear up and down that the M033 is actually 'lower' than the M030. I do not have my Streather book handy here at work (ya', I know I should!) but does that sound right???

FWIW-- I am having my suspension done this week-- RoW M030 and Bilstein HD's. (I am keeping the stock stabilizers). The shop which is doing it doesn't let you bring in your own parts, which I can respect. Still, I prefer to use them because they have a great reputation and give me lots of helpful advice.

The price of the parts is about $1,800 (and there is no cost for shipping). So, if you can find someone to install them, the group buy looks like it will save you about $250 (at least on the parts).

Gert said that you can select the same height as the M030 or even 10-15mm lower.......

Streather's book lists two different ride heights for the standard models; "standard" and "Sports" suspensions. Since MO33 and MO30 are both sports suspension, they are the same height according to him. Now with the extra thread on the HDs you should be able to go just a little lower. But I don't see where there would be any difference between 030 and 033 in height.

Also, on page 261 he says that the MO33 springs are similar to the MO30 in stiffness. I asked ViperBob about that, and he agreed. The difference is that the MO30 is progressive rate, and the MO33 is linear rate, if I understood (Bob) correctly...

Gert's setup 2:

What's the difference between the M033 and the M030 springs?
The M030 is a sport sport suspension. The M030 springs will make the ride lower and sportier while the M033 springs will lower the car but it will remain comfortable like the stock suspension.

This is a nice setup as we have the option to lower the car whenever we want from 10mm (2/5") up to 45mm (1"3/5)...

But... I think you may need to realign the car if you change the setting a material amount.

Perhaps someone with more technical knowledge can chime in on this.

Personally, I don't want my car lowered too much. I understand the center of gravity dynamics, but I'm not tracking it, and I prefer an appearance which is closer to "stock."

Falcondrvr, I live in South Tampa as well, you'd think with the property tax we pay the roads would be be better.
I installed the M033 with Bilstiens and TT swaybars a couple of years ago, it's a good ride. If I were to do it again I would try it without the TT swaybars first.
