I'm interest in that Hard Rubber Motor Mount that it comes with.

Why not the PSS-9s for the same money???

Chris, Spoke to a couple of sources that didn't have anything that was that good to say about the PSS9 setup and have heard many good things from people I do know with X73 and X74 equipped cars.

I'd love to hear what you think of the X73 after you give it a try. Should be a painless upgrade since it's all factory stuff.

I have the PSS-9 and love it!!
I got mine from Gert as wanted more adjustability (for height) than the X73...It was also not available until recently (was supposed to be out in May!!)

I have the H&R coilovers right now, but I've been having some problems. The car rattles at times which really irritates me! I'm not sure if its the person who set them up or it's the coilovers themselves.

I just ordered a set of the RUF coilovers and I'm having Rob at scargo fit some teflon bushings to eliminate any possible noises. I'm crossing my fingers that my suspension will finally be quiet.

I debated the X73, but at the end, I like the idea of the adjustability and heard good things about the RUF kit.

Mansour...

Did you finally get the rear H&R sway bar to fit correctly? What was it hitting before?
