There are 2 versions of the M030 sport suspension
US and ROW
The ROW version sit around 20mm lower IIRC

There is color coding on the springs to let you know whice ones there are if they are Porsche springs

I have the ROW sport springs on my 2002 base, and they do lower the car slightly, but it's not that noticeable. I'm guessing the OP has lowering or cut stock springs.

I believe that the H&R springs also lower the car considerable (1.5"..?)

Problem solved. It was H&R springs when i bought the car and have installed original springs with color code Yellow/Brown.

Thanks for the advice

If you have no need for the H&R lowering springs, post them for sale here on the Forum. They are a pretty popular upgrade.
