Lightbulb Anyone Need An X73 Suspension?

I recently purchased the X73 suspension form Carnewal.

X73 Sport Suspension Kit


I have not installed the included motor mounts. After the first 100 miles of driving, I've decided this suspension is just too stiff for my tired old bones. In my younger days, it would have been great, but I 've grown older and softer. I would characterize the ride as somewhere between stock and GT2. The car is tight and handles much better than the stock suspension.

I will be reinstalling my stock suspension next week, and will be able to make someone a great deal on the X73 kit. By then the suspension will have approximately 250 miles maximum.

PM me if you're interested.

Cheers,

Fred-

Might you be interested in a trade plus $? I might be intersted in going lower than my current setup. I'd like to retaining a Porsche product and the X73 fits that bill.

I have the P96 Turbo Euro Sport Suspension Package on my car. It will lower your car from the factory ride height and I imagine the ride will not be as harsh as the X73.

Here are the specs on the Euro Suspension-

This Euro M030 kit comes with all the parts needed for this conversion:

Shocks for front and rear and the four springs.
Lowers the car 20mm (4/5") in the front and 10mm (2/5") in the rear.

PM or email me if interested.

I'm interested as well. Do you need the Euro M030 suspension to install the x73 coilover system? How much does it lower the car, do you still see large gaps?

No, you don't need the Euro suspension to install the X73 on a widebody car. You can convert your stock factory suspension to a the X 73. I was offering to trade suspensions with him since he found the ride on the X 73 too harsh. The Euro suspension will lower the ride height some where between the factory ride height and the X 73 ride height so I image the ride quality would also be somewhere in between.

I have the Euro suspension on my car (it lowered the body a decent amount) and notice very little difference in ride quality from the factory suspension.

Hope this helps.
