I haven't looked into the X74 package yet...but I "had" decided on the P SS9...perhaps I need to re-think that.

PSS9 - I have just ordered it from Carnewal - PSS9 is also cheaper than the X74 Kit. I am not confident that the X74 is to my liking in two areas:
1] Is the ride height too low with the X74 kit

and

2] Is the ride too harsh for what I am after.

After 2 months of reading and researching I feel more comfortable with the total adjustability of the PSS9

I know that Carenwal is a board sponsor but how thw Dollar is with the Euro right now you might want to buy the PSS9 in America. But IMHO I like that the PSS9 kit because it's fully adjustable, what happens if you want the car even lower than what it is after the X74.

Karlooz,

I thought that special had finished on Monday. It longer comes up with the discount when you add the item to your cart. None the less I feel more comfortable in buying from Carnewal, I was getting way to many conflicting answers from a number of suppliers in the US.

Regards
Arthur

Britt.....

go w/ the pss9.... I stop by Roock a few months ago and they show me their coil over spring set up; it was very impressive.

if you decide to go w/ either set up and if your euro m030 will fit a C4 I'll buy them from you.

I have the PSS-9's installed on my 02 C2 and am very pleased. I would have been even happier had I purchased them for $1850.00. I would jump all over the price offered by performance products.

PSS9's....Adjustable everything....

With that said...I might just go with RoW030 because of cost.

After weighing all the options I have gone with the X74 from Gert at Carnewal. They should be here Monday and I will have them installed on Tuesday. Should have some pics middle or end of next week and I can't wait for the change.
