X73 similar to GT2 or GT3?

I would like to know whether the X73 setup is similar to the suspension found on the GT2 or GT3. Would a turbo with X73 suspension feel similar to the GT cars?

It's about as close as a blow up doll compared to Jenna Jameson.

jlee, The X73 is an excellent setup and upgrade to the 996TT for street/track use, its a nice compromise, keeps your car still streetable, great improvement over stock, Im not sure what your intentions of useing your car are, purchased the X73 here from Carnewal and great service in return.

Jasclass,

I don't intend to track the car. Just want a little more sporty feel without compromising too much in terms of comfort/ride. The reason I asked about any similarities between say the GT2 and the X73 is that I liked the lively feel of the GT2 and I read somewhere in the posts that the car felt like it lost about 500 pounds with the installation of the X73. I know the GT2 is a much lighter car, but I wasn't sure whether the "lively" feel was due to the weight difference or mostly due to the suspension setup.

If you dont want to compromise too much then go with the X73, you will love it.

And the GT3 by comparison is like that chick we had lunch with a few weeks ago:

Not enough of either to be worth it!!!

j/k.. she was more like a Maserati. High maintenance and really not all that good looking.

X73 vs ROW030

I need some help here. I am debatting between the X73 and ROW upgrade to my 01TT. I have 19's installed and don't want to rub the tires in the corners. I track it occasionally (3-4 DE's a year), but most of the miles are on the street. Has anyone done the X73 with 19's - do you have issues with the tires hittting? I really want the lower look of the X73 but don't want to do so if there will be issue... Thanks
