M030 euro suspension or X73
What are the exact differences. Are there big improvements in handling going with the X73 instead of the M030? What other differences? How is the ride/handling with each. Does the M030 lower the car enough so that the large gaps between the fender and wheels are gone?

THe M030 suspension lowers the cars 20mm (4/5") in the front and 10mm (2/5") in the rear. The factory X73 retrofit lowers the cars 20mm all around.

Lou,
the X73 will lower the Euro M030 20mm FRONT & REAR according Porsche. they are not identical to each other.
i know it sounds confusing, but think about this:
Euro M030 F-20mm R-10mm
X73 F-40mm R-30mm
from our US M030. is't more clear to u?

Have you seen the euro M030 in person? Are their gaps between the wheel well and top of tire. I would hate to get the euro suspension and then the car still looks high.

BTW, your Turbo will ride better (and have less harshness) with quality coil overs as compared to either the stock or Euro M030 suspensions. Of course handling will improve significantly over stock. Can't speak to the X73 suspension ride quality, as I haven't experienced that yet.

Lou -- It seems to me your primary goal in lowering the car is aesthetics. That being the case, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you will NOT be happy with the Euro M030 suspension. There will still be significant gaps between the wheel well and the tire with the ROW M030 setup. While Porsche specifies that the ROW M030 will lower the car 20mm and 10mm front and rear, respectively, they also specify a 10mm plus or minus tolerance. I've seen many Turbos after install of the ROW suspension which do not appear to be much lower than stock at all, especially in the rear. If you want to have ultimate control (and adjustability/flexibilty) over the final height of your car, get coil overs. If you want to stick with Porsche parts and definitely want the car to look like it has been lowered, I'd recommend you go with the X73 setup. Just my 2 cents.![Wink](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
