If I could still find a new X73 kit for my C4S, I'd buy it today!

I'm at a loss right now trying to find the right set-up. I want it lowered to Euro height, don't want to just do springs since the suspension is 9yrs old with 112,000 kms, but I want to stay as close to factory quality as possible. I do track the car, but it also has to remain comfortable as a DD. Suggestions?

I DD drive mine on South Florida roads which are arguably pretty good overall but yes it is not harsh and in some ways lest harsh than the M030.
No regrets on my part and with the added more aggressive alignment transforms the car.

Last time I check the ohlins were $2800. Yes, their website is lame... If their coilovers are the same quality as their motorcycle shocks then it's well worth the $. A member posted recently who installed a set. Maybe he will chime in on where he bought them and how they are performing. I know ohlins have been making 997 coilovers but I never heard of them being available for 996s until late 2012. Correct me if im wrong?

I have a 99 996 C2 and ideally would like to upgrade to a X74 suspension.
Since the X74 is NLA, is there a similar offering out there that reasonably duplicates the X74's simplicity, performance and price? I am not interested in switching out to coilovers.
Is it possible to mix and match components that are available individually to create a pseudo X74?
