X74 suspension....

Any experience with it? Thoughts, impressions? There's a good deal on Carnewal right now and making me think twice b/w that and PSS9s....

My suspension quest will never end! TIA!!!

Just got back from Pocono, my x73 was really planted on the ball of the speedway part of the course, but you really need some R compond tires to get the real effect.
The last time at pocono with the stock suspension/ no aero and street tires the car was very bouncy on the ball, really had to back off the throttle alot. Now, the car is so planted and 'sucked down' on the track, unbelievable.

do you guys have any pics on the car? I can't find any pictures of the car with X74.

Chris, you have X73 right? Is there any difference b/w that and X74 (besides for the fact it is for awd applications)?

I think the x73/74 are one in the same(spring/shock-wise), one for awd, the other rwd. You can't go wrong with he factory stuff, you know that Jon
If you were buying a car, would you pick the one with all oem parts, or the one with off the shelf aftermarket stuff?
You know I favor the oem stuff for the most part, there are other zealots who swear by the pss9's, you'll get a lot of different opinions.

X74 is RWD, X73 is AWD. I have pics. PM me with your email and I will send them. My X74 kit is for sale (approx 1000 miles on it) as I have moved up to a Moton race setup.

Just installed X74 from Carnewal with a friend. The sale price got me off my butt! It has totally transformed the car. I confirm all of the other positive comments that I have seen about it. I had it aligned at the dealer last week. The service manager said it felt very similar to a GT3. Float is gone, it handles like on rails, and looks like it is at exactly the correct ride height! It lowered the car about one inch all around. It took us 3 1/2 hours for the install. Highly recommended!

very nice... any pics?

I was going to go for x74, but bought PSS9s in the end... I couldn't resist the adjustability. You can't lose with either set-up
