Running M030 (-10mm) which has just the right combination of firmness and comfort. The car corners like it's on rails.
Some might say that to alter the suspension on any 'stock' Porsche 911 is sacrilege and I'd be inclined to agree! Why would Porsche produce one of the most sought after and iconic sports cars of all time with suspension that isn't quite good enough?! My next 911 will definitely have 'standard' suspension.
I can only imagine that the -30mm suspension would be great for track days and the like but you might find that anything approaching a regular or even a daily driver might turn out to be more than a challenge!
I drove mine to the south of France once and I have to say that I knew that I'd done the mileage! Doing a similar distance in a car with -30mm might have taken me a few more days - at least! [

You wouldn't say that if you had a front splitter. [
]. Mine is the standard M030 ride height of the Turbo, and the splitter catches all the time.I'm on M030 also - it's fantastically glued on corners
But harsh in London where I live , where the roads are only occasionally flat
I now avoid routes with a series of speed bumps to save the car and the constant slowing/ speeding up
Probably the same for a standard set up
30mm lower would be too low for me, just too harsh

Wouldn't change her for the world though. That said if I had the world would get rid of the speed humps.
