Default Is this a stock strut?

I'm going through the records from my car and found a receipt for changing the struts. I think it's only for labor because it was for $450.00. I don't think they could of been worn out because it was done at 10,000 miles.

Looks like a (Porsche) X73 Lowered Sport Suspension to me.

Thanks, that probably explains why the alignment was drastically changed at one time. The top strut mounts look like they were moved 1/4". The car looks a little lower and rides pretty rough also on our frost heaved roads.

X73 are known for their feel of the road (translation...rough ride).

X73 is also known for its fine handling. If you run over a dime you can tell if it's heads or tails.

Very nice.
