X73

Any problems with the tires contacting the fenders on normal compression while driving?

You don't have any offsets installed do you?

How's the ride quality?

Thanks

Thanks, This is a Genuine Porsche setup, there are no tire rubbing issues, clearance is fine, very streetable, firmer ride but not too harsh, my best way to describe it as a medium between the stock Turbo and the GT2 all around.

I dont have much experience with changing these suspension systems, but the X73 is in for a few weeks now and has approx 500 miles on it, it might settle a little bit more.

I didnt do any exact measurements as we were not looking for only to lower the car but also more of a firmer setup, the drop is what we wanted to accomplish, we new what the ROW would be like and were looking for more, so far so good, thanks.

03C4S, I dont think that will be an accurate way to mearure because the tire and fender lip dont line up exactly perfect and tires do vary, I can take measurements from the ground up to the lip on the wheel well arches and that will give you an indication of ride height, let me know if that will work for you.

how about from the center of the wheel to the lip - that way I can figure if my 19s will work?

thanks

Lou,
are probably looking for around $800~900 installation & re-alignment.

do u have good relationship with ur dealer? because my dealer friend told me to bring the car back & say "noisy suspension." therefore installed the M030 under warranty for free

The dealers around here are the worst. They have 0 knowledge. What if I went with the X73 suspension, do you think they would do that for free??
