I have the Blistein HDs with the M030 on my Cabriolet. Its a firm ride not overly harsh but for the city driving that I do I probably should have gotten the M033. I heard its a little softer to give better ride when road gets rough.

Default Suspension differences

Took a quick look at the catalog.
The M030 has a stiffer sway bar and stiffer springs and the normal USA ride height.
The M033 is a Non-USA lowered option with different springs and dampers.
I went through an analysis and found the the HR Kit with their matched progressive springs was the best value in a high quality slightly lowered solution where the stock alignment values can be used.
See attached for my notes. I have not verified all the info in the attached.

In Europe M030 is lowered 20 mm vs orig ROW ride hight. Orig ROW ride height is 20 mm lower vs orig US ride height.
