Default Who's Done an X73 Suspension on a C4S?

I know this is a Turbo forum, but I'm hoping for those of you who previously had a C4S and may have done an X73 upgrade, what was different about the handling and the ride, besides being lower. I've heard its a lot more direct handling (better) but the ride is very very firm, maybe boarderline too harsh?

Yes, I did, very firm but great ride, the best option for a C4S. More track oriented than street if that's what you're asking.

If I recall, your last car, a C4S, was your daily driver, so the ride was acceptable for street or highway driving?

Chris, I'm not looking to track my car, but I want to have more direct steering feedback, less floatiness and having the chassis drop 10 mm is a plus. I've driven a GT3 996 and found the ride very acceptable, I would think the X73 suspension can not be firmer than the GT3.

Your thoughts?
