I have to disagree with the votes here so far. I think the M030 removed the "floaty" quality from the car and lowered it a bit. While it is a bit more harsh than before it's nothing I can't live with, especially with the improved handling at speed, but my wife thinks it's too rough and we have really smooth roads here. I think any lower and tighter would be a problem, especially if you DD the car.

Same here. For the record, I'd like to go lower with mine but I'm already scraping the front spoiler on darn near everything. My wife tells me I clear parking lot speed bumps by less than the width of a finger.

She'll get more visually from the spoiler and side panels but more feel from the suspension kit. Which do you think she would like more?

X74 will give you more pleasure then the Aero. Also, do not do the bumper until you can place on the wing at the same time.

+1 If you are eventually going to get both the aero kit and the suspension, get the M030. Especially if this is a DD. The aero kit will get hammered with the X74 on brutal roads.

Also, doesn't Porsche state that you should not use the aero kit unless you are using all of it? Meaning, you should be using the parts of the kit without using the whole kit. High speed handling is dramatically effected.
