Can anyone who has the X73 suspension on their 996tt coupe measure the height from the middle of the wheel centre cap to the bottom of the fender arch on both the front and rear? Also if you have any pics of this set up on 19s please post here or PM me. Thanks....

 

Anyone? I'm also interested in this factory Porsche suspension upgrade...

 

I can take these measurements tonight when I get home from work.

 

Subscribed as well...interested in the info for this also

 

I should have a set of these soon. I'll get some measurements after I get it installed.

 

Thanks, if you can take measurements at all 4 corners.

 

I just got my X73 parts yesterday and plan on installing mid January. I'll take before and after measurement to post.

 

Will do. I had to go out of town yesterday, so I didn't get a change to take the measurments. I will post them up tonight.

 

There isn't really an easy way to measure from the center of the center cap. From the ground to the fender, the measurments are as follows:
With a margin of error of at least 1/16th.
FL-25 3/4"
FR-25 5/8"
RL-25 1/4"
RR-25 1/4"
Stock wheels.
Front tires=225/40zr18 PS2's
Rear tires=295/30zr18 PS2's

 

How significant was the handling/track improvement with the X73 over the stock 996T suspension?? Thx for the feedback*

 

The car came with this suspension, so I can't comment on the track improvement over stock. I drove my first track event with this car last Saturday, and it felt great. The car stays pretty flat in the corners and it puts the power down very well. The car understeers quite a bit, but I attribute this to the narrow front tires and weak rear sway bar. Understeer is safer, so I probably won't address it until I get some more time behind the wheel. Keep in mind, this suspension is a lot stiffer then stock. You will feel every bump in the road while driving around town. I think the car feels more connected, but most wouldn't prefer this for a DD.

On a side note, I only got about 12 laps in before boiling my brake fluid. Luckily one of my friends had everything required to do a track side bleading, so I wasn't out for the whole day. I stongly recommend better brake pads and fresh fluid for anyone considerding tracking their car.

Here are some pictures my friend took:
