All- I went with a KW HAS kit. Spring rates are the softest I could find.

I think the M2 suspension is slightly flawed- it is oversprung and under dampened- particularly noticeable on a choppy high speed corner. Where good dampeners let the car track well, the M2 skips. Perhaps a bigger sidewall would solve it?

I managed to do a back to back with my 987 and the better dampening is immediately noticeable.

Net result- don't lower- go coilovers instead.
