The suspension changes can make for a different feel that some customers might prefer even if they wouldn't be able to go any faster with it, but yes you'd probably need to be a very good driver to be markedly faster. But a significant percentage of M car owners tragically never even bother to go to a track in the first place, and even the non-Comp M cars have more than enough performance for the road, so even if the performance improvements were noticeable to novices on track, they would still be moot for most customers. But obviously there's still a market for more go-fast bits!
