Default X73 Suspension Question

If I order the X73 suspension kit from the dealership will I need anything else to install this on my 2001 996 turbo. I'm assuming everything I would need for the install is included in the kit but someone let me know if I am way off. Thanks.

No everthing`s all there. Need a spring compressor to remove the fronts. And I had to disconnect the front axles at the differential to get enough clearance to remove the old front suspension. Some say you don`t have to, but I could not see any way around it.

Were the motor mounts hard to do?

No they are very easy. just use the right torque setting 63 ftlb 18mm deep socket 17ftlb onthe smaller bolts and don`t jack up the car too far---piece of cake

One last question before I take the plunge. Can some please list all the parts and hopefully the part numbers that should be included in the kit when bought from a dealership. Thanks.
