Mathemagician is infamous around these parts
ROW M030 is EXACTLY the right compromise for a daily driver. Feels firm and snappy, no floating at (ahem) highway speeds, and no loud bangs on potholes (we have plenty and the corvette I used to have did the bone jarring loud banging, so I know what you're talking about). Body roll is much more comfortable and easier to manage. The speeds that used to make me nervous on our windy mountain roads now are quite comfortable, and the ride is not noticeably harsher than stock. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

You probably already heard from them - they seem to be very responsive. Here's what their website says:

So you got the suspension on mathemagician? No loud banging, sounds like the ticket to me.

I just put on the ROW M030 from Sunset Porsche, just a little cheaper than Suncoast was, but you need to call them. They got it to me quickly and it went on fairly easily... (man, the front sway bar was a PITA!)

Anyway, this is on an 03 cabrio, but I think the ride and handling balance is perfect for the street. Noticeably sharper turn in and barely firmer ride, I think it actually rides better, but I prefer a slightly stiffer ride. I was a little disappointed with the ride heights, the car is lowered but I guess I thought 20/10mm would be more noticeable. it looks like a proper stock height, I doubt most people could tell it's lowered. I measured 26.5" in the front and 26" in the rear, from fender lip to garage floor, but I gotta drive it around some to see if it will settle a bit and then get it aligned.

Anyway, I'm happy, but I could've used 3/4" lower... but for the price, I'm pretty stoked! Who knows, maybe I'll end up doing Bilstein Sports and Eibachs or H&Rs later... (if I need a lower ride height)

Yes, and couldn't be happier with it for a daily driver. As noted above, perfect balance for the street.
