PSS10's, they are adjustable so not sure what you are expecting as far as stance goes.

Subscribing. I've got stock suspension but am trying to figure out which way to go as well (lowering springs, X-73, PSS10, etc.)

X73 was too hash for me on the street, felt over dampened in the rear. I did not get to track that setup but I'm sure it was great for the track.

I wanted a more supple ride for a daily commute that could be cranked down for track days, and the PSS10's fit the bill.

Just got the X73 installed. It is stiff. I can see that if you live in a place with bumpy roads, it can be a little bothersome.

But for me, it was what I was looking for.

I also had H&R sway bars, front and rear, installed.

Now the car feels planted. Find myself taking turns, freeway on/off ramps, at much higher speeds.

I'll get a measurement of the height after a week or two. Right now, it seems to be sitting a little higher than I expected. Hope that after the springs settle, it'll drop another 1/4".

Cool, keep us posted. I'm curious to see how much it settles. It's interesting from the number of cars I've seen pictures of with the X73 that they all seem to have slightly different ride heights. At least it looks like it in the pictures.
I do like the stance of the yellow car with the x73 in one of the earlier posts.

Will do.

It's been two day so far, the car is about 1/8" lower than the first day

Installed for 1 week so far:




In terms of handling, I can't be happier. Firm ride, but not over the top. The car is now very stable when I hit a bump or bumps in the middle of the turn. With the sway bars, the car stays very very flat through turns.
