Installed GT3 seats, X74 plus lots more this past weekend! (pics)

Installed the following with the help of a friend:
X74 Suspension and sway bars
Engine Protection plate(3.6L)
Instrument Cowl painted in Seal Grey
Tequipment Roll/Harness bar
Pair of GT3 Seats. Drivers side with Porsche anti sub belt cross member and the passenger with brey-krause anti sub belt cross member with fire extinguisher bracket and halon fire extinguisher
Pair of DEIST 6 point harnesses in red

Here is a link to some pics:

Here are a few:





Here is my instrument cowl:




Didn't get pics of the X74 or engine protection plate. Will post them when I have them. But you don't really need those since my car car is almost identical to Grey Ghosts Seal Grey X74'd 996 except for the nose and wing.(Love your car BTW GG, you and AdamB are the reasons I went with X74 over M030)

Can somebody tell me exactly what somes with the X74 package as far as shocks/springs, how much does it cost, how much does it lower the car compared to the stock suspension, not 030.
Also anybody track there car with the X74, also how much negative camber does it give you front and back.
Thanks again.

~40mm front and 30mm rear lower than US stock ride height.

I got 4 shocks and springs, 2 sway bars and 2 metal stiffeners from Carnewal:



Here is the answer to your camber question:

Can you take and post a few more pictures of your Seal Grey instrument cowl? Looks cool, but difficult to see it from that picture.

Thanks

40mm front and 30mm rear?
Any problems with scraping up front, 40mm is quite a drop.
Also you said you got two stifferners, where do these go and how do they help?
Are the sway bars bigger than stock and are they adjustable?
Package looks great, still can't read that chart and figure out front and rear camber? Looks like -0.5 front and -1.5 rear camber?

Dunno about problems scraping, I haven't driven the car yet.

As for the stiffeners see this thread of mine:
http://216.7.163.99/forums/showthrea...&threadid=8529

The sway bars are slightly bigger. They are the same as the ROW suspension kit. They are not adjustable. I guess you could get the GT3 bars if you wanted to do that.

Just so you all know. The sway bars on the RoW M030 and US M030 are the same. Which are also the same sway bars as you use with the X74 suspension.

Done.

Engine Protection Plate:


More Seal Grey Cowl shots:






It's pretty subtle unless in bright light. It would REALLY stand out in red, yellow, white or silver I am sure. On a black car it would be pretty cool vs the stock flat black texture. I saw a picture on the Porsche website with a white one and I really wanted it. The center console was much better and way more noticeable.

I DO really like the reflections in it though! And the removal and reinstall are MUCH easier than the center console. Only thing that sucks is you can't do a core exchange with Eric @ bumperplugs because he can't get this part alone from Porsche.

Hope this helps.

it's not a GT3, it's a C2.
