I've been running the M030 suspension for a while, and have been toying with the idea of upgrading to PSS9/10. I've done a load of research, but there is very limited follow up to those that upgrade - and what they like / dislike about the change. My real inquiry relates to the return on cost between the two in terms of performance. If the change is 10% "better" [to the owner] on the road/track, then I wouldn't be as interested as if there is a 50% improvement in various categories. I understand that it would be hard to quantify unless you have track data, but "seat of the pants" impressions still have value to me.
In short, if you have upgraded to PSS9/10 could you please post some thoughts about the change. If you go to the track, it would be great if you had some overall impressions on the change and maybe event some data.
Thanks!

Curious what your motivation for the switch is. Are you not happy with RoW M030? This is the Euro sport suspension; no? What improvemment are you looking to get from the coilovers?
The reason why I ask is I am thinking of going to Euro M030 from my stock suspension. I'm looking for a modest drop, better handling and I have been told that my cab will noticably benefit from the 030 sway bars. I don't track the cab, just looking to improve the handling and look and 030 seems like a good choice.
Please expand on your reasons for wanting to move off 030.
Thanks.

Thank you Edward. The results you have described sounds EXACTLY what I am looking for. My main complaint with the stock is the "floatiness".
For me a coilover set seems like overkill and the M030 appears to be very good value.
How long have you had your's on and where did you order it from?
Regards,

I was hoping that those that went step wise (stock - M030 - PSS9) would have a little input as to their thoughts for upgrading and their impressions afterwards. I know that lots of folks have done one or the other, but there has to be someone that did both...
In any event, I am seriously contemplating moving from the ROW M030 to the PSS10 with GT3 sway bars. If so, my MO30 will be up for sale in the near future.
[and FYI - the drop is not that significant, even after the suspension settles in]

Second, 20mm is more than enough drop for me. Frankly, I feel that my car looks perfectly balance now around the wheel well. Car just got washed so I'll try to post some photos this week.

It's not that I'm not happy with the M030. It's a great improvment over stock. The big issue is that you only one form - "sport mode." That is, it's always on, always stiffer than stock and not adjustable. It's definitely better than stock, but so is PSS9/10. My question is whether PSS9/10 is really worth $1500+ (just in parts) more than M030. And, after having the M030 for more than a year, and looking back, I feel like I should have saved my pennies and got the PSS9. I would have a better suspension overall, and the ability to change ride height. The great part about not upgrading to PSS9 last year, is that he PSS10 is now circulating ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

In your post above, you seem to be asking whether it is worth the bucks to be able to switch between stiffest/lowest to street comfortable rather than just the always sport mode of the M030. Sorta like the PASM in the 997 series. Maybe the better question to ask is if any of the PSS9/10 boys regularly switch/adjust their setting, how easy is it, and how often do they do it. You may get more answers that will help you decide if it's worth the switch.
