My car is a Japanese import (LH drive and ROW) and has M030. I can't say what is different from US M030 because I have never driven one but it is low and has a somewhat stiff ride.

It’s the ride height....

...due to USA DOT headlight height laws and bumper height laws, the USA cars must ride higher than the ROW cars.

The ROW suspension sits lower.

That’s it.

And it’s not THAT much lower, either.

Don’t sweat it.

USA M030 is awesome, and the bonus is you won’t be scraping every driveway and parking spot bump stop.

Don’t over think it.

Cheers.
