I bought Koni sport adjustable inserts and rebuilt my own struts. You have to cut off the top of the old strut and drill a hole in the bottom for a bolt to hold the insert, but it is not too hard to do. My strut was not a M030 but you might call Paragon and check with them.

Had the same thing done to one of my 968s     ( except for the part about cutting and rebuilding the struts on my own, I had someone else do that ..)

I didn't read it well. Strut is in the front. Left or right is new available and in stock at rose-passion.

Different but the same. M030's have the adjustable spring perch, but the body of the strut is the same and will accept the insert. If you don't want to cut your original's and I could'nt blame you, I think Paragon may have an exchange program. I would call them. If not get a used pair of stock struts and hack them. You can then send your originals to Koni for the rebuild and your car is not off the road for 4-6 weeks.
