Anyone upgrade from ROW M030 to PSS9/10?

I've been running the M030 suspension for a while, and have been toying with the idea of upgrading to PSS9/10. I've done a load of research, but there is very limited follow up to those that upgrade from M030 - and what they like / dislike about the change. My real inquiry relates to the return on cost (around $1500 upgrade) between the two in terms of performance. I understand that it would be hard to quantify unless you have track data, but "seat of the pants" impressions still have value to me.

Did you move for track reasons? For ride height or adjustability? Was it really worth it?

In short, if you have upgraded to PSS9/10 could you please post some thoughts about the change. If you go to the track, it would be great if you had some overall impressions on the change and maybe event some data.

Thanks!

If you do decide to go this route - I will be interested in your M030 setup. I am looking to step up from my stock setup

I just got my car back today from Sharkwerks with PSS10s and H&R sway bars. I had the RoW suspension before. I lowered the car probably an additional inch compared to the RoW and after just 40 miles mostly freeway from the shop to my place, the difference was very noticeable and I am stoked. The ride is much nicer and doesn't "jump" like it did before when I hit bad spots on the freeway. Sudden lane changes just feel better and the steering feels so much improved. I have a couple spots of my normal commute that I will see tmrw that I will really be able to compare a before vs after, but I felt a significant difference already. Very happy about this move.
