Question Alignment Specs for 996TT with X73 Suspension?

Does anyone have the alignment specs for a 996TT with X73 suspension? My factory shop manual does not list this suspension in the alignment specs.

Thanks,

Default alignment

Fred: I don't have specific factory specs but I could fax you the results of last weeks alignment. I am really happy with the feel although I have not yet tracked it with this setup. The x-73 is a great upgrade! Please pm me with your fax #. Fish

You can fax me at:309-675-4616.

I purchased the system from Gert Carnewal, and he has suggested using the ROW M030 specs.

I purchased the X73 on Gert's recommendation rather than the ROW M030. I'm a bit concerned about how low this will ride and how harsh the ride will be. These were 2 of the reasons that I chose the TT over the GT3 that I'd ordered but never got a chance to drive. I'm hoping that the progressive springs will provide some initial compliance and not beat me up over every crack in the pavement or expansion joint. I'm still a little leary about changing the motor mounts. I may run with the stock ones for a while before installing the Motorsports mounts.

My previous experience has been with my '97C4S:

H&R springs + standard shocks = mismatch of spring and damping rates. The car absorbed small bumps, put "porpoised" before settling down. The ride height was a tad too low for my driving conditions.

ROW M030 - Very nice compromise of performance, comfort and appearance.

Interested in your observations.

Cheers,
