Well the X73 is on and I must say I am very impressed. It tightened things up a bit at almost no cost. The quality of the ride for street purposes is very similar to the stock suspension. I'm very pleased overall.

Mines is on its way i have tracking now, Porsche does have more in stock now for those interested in getting this kit. Question, for installation did you use any other products like End links? or anything besides what the kit gave you? I was planning on using spacers to make the wheels ( stock 20” black carrera wheels ) sit flush with the fenders, Anyone know what size spacers to use? and if it’s ok to use them.

I didn't use anything that did not come with the kit. I plan on adding 7mm RSS spacers, but it's really for cosmetic reasons.

Since i have the OEM 20 inch Black Carrera wheels, I'll add Black RSS 7mm front and 15mm rear spacers. black bolts to match.

I have the same wheels. I think you will really like the X73.

If you're having the X73 suspension installed, remind the tech doing the work to plug the auto leveling sensor harness for the headlights back in before they reinstall the front subframe. If they don't do this, your headlights will be wacky and they will have to drop the entire subframe again just to do that. Don't ask me how I know this.

How much was for the installation by the way and how long approximately it takes. and im assuming alignment is need afterwards.

this is good to know, They have to lower the whole sub frame to install this kit? wow isn't that a lot of work.

you also have to think about stone chips the further out you go. A before and after for others considering the upgrade.
