The good, the bad, and the ugly

Thought I'd wrap this thread up with an update...
Had a ABS/PSM light come on after the reinstallation. Turned out I needed a new battery and alternator. Now, all is finally well.
Took the tt into my favorite canyon last week to put the X73 through the paces.
Bottom line...I'm much happier with the X73 over the RUF Pss9's I previously had on the car. Perhaps the PSS9's were never properly dialed in. With the PSS9's, they would perform well in tighter, slower speed turns...however, the tail end would start to wag with any bump in the road during high speed cornering, which was extremely unnerving.
The X73's keep the car flat and stable regardless of the cornering situation. I've read that the X73 can be too stiff for some. Personally, I find that hard to believe, as the car is plenty supple going over typical potholes and uneven surfaces.
I'm stoked that I found this NOS X73 kit.
Well....I love the clutch.
Precise engagement point, exceptionally quick revving, almost non-existent chatter.
What's not to love?
All in all, I'm just happy to have my car back and say goodbye to the friendly folks on the Ojai Trolley.
