Any of you with the X73 setup?

Is it a coilover setup?

Does it lower it to GT2 spec?

Fenders need rolling?

Please post pics of the X73 on a TT if you have any.

Thanks
Shank

Shank - check out Gert's site www.carnewal.com
Unfortunately, the X73 are not adjustable and they are the same setup as stock except with different shocks and springs...Supposed to lower the car but I think a bit higher than GT2 spec (GT2 spec is really low and needs fender rolling - GT2s come with rolled fenders from factory)...

X73 is between GT2 Spec and Stock Spec...not adjustable.

I have H&R Coilvovers, lowered more than a GT2, no fender rolling is necessary. My rear wheels are 11.5" with a 33 offset.

i've been search for it for a while. i think here only JAS has it & no pic yet.

instead i ordered euro M030 from Gert because i don't want my car to be too low.

here is what i got so far, a C2 with X74, same thing as X73 on TT.

Shank, We have the X73 setup in the Turbo, it is a coilover setup, not adjustable, lowers car between stock Turbo height and GT2 factory setting height, did not need to roll fenders, pics will be up very soon.

JASCLASS...

Are you sure it's a coilover setup. Looking at the parts for the kit, it does not have any threaded body to adjust the spring perch.

Now I am confused. What is the difference between the M030 euro suspension and the X73? Is the X73 much lower, better handling?

X73 is at least 20mm lower than Row M030 according Porsche.

remember, in Germany they don't have US set up. so the car is either came with stock (which is Row M030) or X73.

Is the M030 set-up look high still then? Do the stock 18's fill out the wheelwell? Is handling much better?

it's really hard to say because Porsche say the Euro M030 set up will give u +10 or -10mm depends on cars, so it's totally about luck i guess
