What about a shot from the rear?

 

i like the oem stuff, but it's a little bland. don't get me wrong, i went with an oem front turbo bumper and oem knockoffs for the rear bumper and wing. looks good, but kind of yawn, bland.

now, give me $15K to spend on bodywork, paint, and install, techart front and rear bumpers with the techart type IIC wing for sure. for as little as most of us spend at 150 mph (sebring is a giant track and even lots of cars can't hit or sustain that speed there), i'll take my chances with a kit that is a little more exotic looking.

chris, you're kind of a purist, so i'm surprised you're running the fabspeed stuff when porsche offers an upgraded exhaust.

what is the ride height of the x73, measured from the ground in inches though the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender lip?

 

I am pretty much of a purist, except when it comes to the bottled up stock exhaust. PSE isn't an upgrade, it's just loud, imo.
I believe the last time I measured it, the ride ht was 25.25" rear, 25.50" front.

 

huh? did you transpose those figures? if not does it look like it's squatting?

 

All C4Ss' have that squat built into them stock, my stock suspension had more like a 1/2" difference.

 

yeah, must be backwards. unless chris is runing some sort of weird negative rake

even backwards, that's still pretty damn low. i'm running 25.5 front and 26 rear with my pss9's.

 

oops. chris posted before i could post mine. wow, what a strange way to set ride height. typically wouldn't you set the rear a little higher to compensate for the squat under acceleration? kind of weird to squat it lower right from the get go.

 

are you rear tires just about up in the fender at that height?

 

I'll measure it again later, those were the figs off the top of my head. As for the squat, that's the way Stuttgart makes the C4S(TT too).
Low, yes, and it scrapes on everything!
I may end up painting it flat black, can't stand all the little scratches.

 

This is about as good as I can find:




Nothing directly from the side close up...sorry.

The only one I have side on is this one, taked down at Reims:

 

Will these do?



...and a well driven shot...

 

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

 

Wow! That is a great @ss shot. I could definitely be convinced to go the C4S route with the Aero kit instead of a GT3 later this year

Great looking car.

 

you have got to be kidding me! you would give up handling AND power for looks ?

 

that wild how the rear end sits down like that. i thought most suspension setups shoot for at least a slight positive rake.

nice pics. it doesn't look as low as the first shot, but it's really low.

one of you guys with the x73 should take some measurements when you get a free moment. i'd really be interested to know what the ride height is on that setup for comparison.
