must have suspension mods???
I did both front and rear H&R sway bars in comination to Champion/H&R springs I already had. Sway bars definetly improve the feel and stability during cornering, they reduced body roll. I want to get a set of coilover next and do the bushings.

I was thinking of doing the X73 mod as well and since we are both in SJ maybe I can check yours out sometime.

The H&R sways aren't expensive and are adjustable, so they will keep you occupied adjusting something at the track Most can get away with the the H&R rear sway.

X73 in the long run is the easiest solution (no guess work). Otherwise plan on coil overs (PSS10 are a good street/ light track option), sway bars, adjustable rear upper control arms, adjustable rear toe link, rear drop links. Install with alignment and corner balance about $5k.
Yep.
I went JIC 8/12 kg fr/rear. AP control arms, links, H and R front and rear sways and a gt2 stance with a corner blanace.
Now the weak link is the human....um, that was the case before too really.

Do you track your car at all?? If so have you experienced before and after the X73 was installed? I already have the sway bars looking at options thanks.

Can't speak for those two systems, but on the PSS9, the X73 feels like the dampers are set at 2-3.

I'd like to try to take a ride in an X73 car on our roads in the MD/DC/VA metropolitan area before thinking about this suspension - anyone have an X73 car here?
I also like the H&R bars, have used them on other cars and they offer good quality and value and perform well for a non full race item.
Anyone tried H&R coilovers, they are only height adj with threaded perches but they are pre-valved and non adj damping - figure may go well with a set if their bars...

+1 on what TT Surgeon and Duane said, the X73 is very well balanced, perfect ride height and ride quality for what you're looking for. I've been on mine for over 5 years and don't have a single complaint and I drive the hell out of my car. The included transmission mount and engine mounts are nice too :-) No need for sways, links or corner balancing, Porsche did all the work for you.
