Does this mean that Vogtland is more comfortable than H&R, both lower -30mm?

And second, how about the M030-Option, that is genuine Porsche with -10mm. Do not know if that is still available ...
If you go down 30mm compared to standard suspension you will loose comfort. The springs need to be stiffer to prevent bottoming out. Less travel for similar force simply means they'll be stiffer. M030 is only 10mm lower. I'm not familiar with US M030, but the ROW M030 is a lot stiffer than std suspension. Funny enough, this prevents bottoming out on speedbumps etc.
