Another X74 convert!
Trust me you will appreciate it more the longer you have it. I've got about 1500 miles on mine, it feels better and better. It amazes me what an improvement this is over stock. This is not an inexpensive upgrade but IMHO is the best upgrade I have done. If there were only one option I could afford on a new C2 this would be it.
I was going to post some pictures of my C2 w/X74 but after seeing your photos I am ashamed of my photography skills...
Congratulations!

The ride is not that much stiffer than the M030 Sport with Euro springs. My wife and I just got back from dinner, 30 miles round trip, and she didn't comment on a harsh ride. It is stiff and a bit bumpy in parts but it's a sports car. I like being able to feel the road.

2 words! AWE-SOME!
I just went and measured mine. Wow, it's a 1.5" lower. Since I've gotten this new GT3 bumper I've scraped it twice in the past week. But, man it does look kick *** 1.5" lower.
Britt, if you don't mind...how much was everything including install and alignment?

Parts: Coilovers (struts & springs) I didn't need the stabalizers since I already had M030 was around $2000
Installation: 6 hours $ $80 = $480
Alignment: Front spoiler had to be removed to get on alignment rack (old equipment and I pay the price, what a *****) $450
TOTAL: With taxes and all just under $3000 and I would do it again. If I had done this in the first place instead of wasting time with the ROW I would have saved another $1000. So I guess I spent $4000 if you look at it that way... crap!

Greyghost - looks killer. The pricing sounds similar to H&R Coilovers - what would be the advantage of the X74 over the H&Rs? (I've got to make the decision in the next month or two for a C4S Cab).
Thanks

Not with the new suspension but I did with the ROW. It was a gas station in Orlando with a huge ramp down to the street. I checked both exits before going for it. Chipped about 3 inches of paint off the lower lip. Florida is pretty good as long as you are on your toes.

My service dept. Mgr. didn't know whar an X74 suspension was. He mentioned somthing about a Porsche lowering kit which is now available. Please enlighten me.
