X73 installed
I picked up my car today after having X73 installed.
The ride height is just what I was looking for, and the handling? Well, it's a MAJOR improvement over stock!

Congrats, that's one mod that I'm thinking about doing. If you track your car, keep me posted on how the cars handles now. Understeer minimized or still there. Thanx and congrats again

X73
The sun was right overhead on this picture, so it was hard to keep the shadows out of the wheel wells. I'll get some more pictures later in the day with a lower sun angle.

I think it will get lower, mine looks that low now with ROW...
I do think your car looks as low as mine right now. Porsche's specs. specify +/- 10mm in their published heights, so a "high" X73 could be close to a "low" ROW.
If my suspension drops a little, that would be OK with me, but I don't want it too much lower.
The important part though is that the handling has been greatly improved!

How's the ride? noticably stiffer?
The balance and steering feel in the corners is just great. I can't imagine what the cornering g must be now.
The combination of the B&M shifter with the EVO ShiftLink, X73, and the stiffer motor mounts really brings the car alive. There is way more feel through the shifter and the seat of your pants. The power comes on sharper and harder after a shift, with great suspension response - no visible squat.
I wish there were a way to change the steering rack ratio to improve (quicken and tighten) the steering response. I like razor sharp response from the steering wheel. And I'm not talking about the impact of the AWD or the weight of the car here, just left/right response in relation to the amount of steering input.
