I was set on x74 and did lots of research seemed like perfect suspension
I am not tracking the car really and it's daily driver so I think tough to justify expense of coil overs. What do you guys recommend?
I gotta lose the 4x4 look.

Looks like we're on the same path.

I gave Gert call a couple of days ago and he said that Porsche is looking for a new supplier so he has no idea when the kits will be available again.

I considered the ROW M030 which is probably the better kit for my needs but I really do want to lower the car more. I do track it but it's more of a daily driver than anything else so I want it done more for aesthetic reasons. The PSS9 seems like a good choice but it doesn't include the sway bars and it's more expensive than the X74.

FWIW, on Gert's website, PSS10's and the X74 are the same price. Personally, I would go for the PSS10's.

You might also look at KW Variant 1 or 3, but PSS10 seems to be a pretty good option.

I love my X-74, but there are times that I wish I could raise it maybe 10mm to reduce the probability of scraping the nose...
