X-73 Suspension vs Others

I am considering upgrading my suspension on my 2005 996 TT -S cab with the X-73 version. Anyone have experience with this option? No track time for me, just want to go to ROW height or a little lower and maintain a comfortable ride. I do not need the adjustability of PS-9/10's but would consider them if the X-73 is not a good option. Thoughts and advise please.

That option was on my 996TT when I bought it second hand a few months back and I quite like it, despite the fact that around Houston its almost too stiff (for passengers of course). However, there are many on this forum that prefer alternatives to this suspension. Search through the forum and you're bound to find a couple of threads on the subject.

If you're just looking to achieve a lower ride height, I suggest going with springs from H&R, KW, etc. as this mod will lower the stance while not compromising the ride quality too much.

It really is important to state what it is you plan to do with the car when discussing suspension bits...

The X73 is one of many options... some like it because it is a porsche engineered product and they don't want anything but porsche parts on their ride... I can respect that.

However, there are lots of other choices out there for similar coin.
Read the sticky on suspension made easy above.
