x-73 vs pss9

I am ready to pull the trigger on a new suspension for my 03 x-50. I was strongly leaning toward the x-73 due to its out of the box, porsche ready setup. My concern is that by lowering the car 20mm, I will be scrapping the front end quite a bit. My new thought is too purchase the pss9's and adjust the ride height without limited lowering, yet still improve the handling for my mountain road jaunts. Will the pss9 setup improve my handling even if I don't lower the car? Thanks for the help. Fish

Yes itwill....do a search with "msindi impressions bilstein" and you'll see....The X73 is overpriced (more than PSS-9) and has less adjustability!!

X73 here and the setup is great, it is non adjustable but the ride height is nice, the car is very streetable and its a nice improvement for track use, I am not home at the moment but I can post a pic of it so you can see the height, its is between Turbo and GT2 factory spec, it is sitting about .5 of an inch higher than the GT2.

part number

Jasclass: Does the x-73 have a part number? With the euro so high it might make sense to purchase in the states, but I know my dealer will need a number. Thanks for the input. Fish
