I now have some time and miles on these and here are my thoughts.
The car now handles larger road imperfections that would make it feel as though the windshield might break with no more than a small thud if that. The smallest stuff is still noticeable, I assume because of the higher spring rate of the M030 springs. Cabin noise in the form of squeaks and groans is greatly reduced.
Generally very pleased with the ride and it corners flatter than I had imagined it would.
Rear fitment was not great with the paint being scraped off the bottom of the strut while getting it started. Also the weld blobs,(too big), on the bracket to casing fouled on the knuckle gap. I will have to touch up the paint. While getting the alignement I noticed a bit of dampness on one rear. I will have to keep an eye on it. And finally at -10C on my morning commute yesterday the ride was noticeably stiffer. Searching the net I found several comments regarding cold weather operation that were not favourable. While not a concern for the boxster, as it goes into hibernation soon, I had thought of getting a set of FSDs for my winter VW MKV. Plans now changed to Koni yellows that I should receive next week.
