Some bladed ARB's are cockpit adjustable and some aren't. THe way it works makes it very easy to tune from in the cockpit. Here's a pic of what one looks like. I ran them on my RS America race car.

Wow, it looks intimidating I see now. So you rotate the blade to adjust the torsional strength left and right individually. Ingenious design!

Fantastic design and what is used in racing apps since the ease of adjustment is obvious.

Man the car is SO much fun to drive now. Have another DE in 3 weeks at Road America and I just scheduled a needed.. lets say medical procedure around the DE. No way I'm missing it....

Good write-up! I am so tempted to put the X73 suspension on my car especially with the low euro exchange rate now. Hey Dell, considering the TT and C4S already have the pretty firm OE sports suspension, how much stiffer/harsher is the X73 in your opinion?

Let's put it this way......my wife loves the track and drives as well and complains about the stiffness of the suspension on poor roads! Me, I think it's just right

I installed the X74 and protection plate on my 2000 996 c2 many years ago and love it.....I think it's the perfect setup for the guy who wants a street and track car and not deal with changing settings.....I bought it from Gert and he is great to deal with....

Absolutely! The current setup is a blast to drive.

I also bought mine from Gert and had excellent experience with him too.
