X73 Kit - AutoX
Anyone autox with a X73 suspension kit on their Cayman? Wanted to know your thoughts.
My stock suspension on my 981CS is pretty much done with 95k and my past autox event.
Debating on X73 or Shaftworks Bilanx Coilovers. Not my daily, but a dedicated autox - not competing in any classes.

They are back ordered right now, with the club spec using them they will likely sell out quick when they do arrive.

Your car looks pretty planted especially through the slalom. Any other mods besides x73 and 200tw?
My car sways alot and i had to becareful through slalom or else i'd understeer, hard to tell with this video, but i'm sure sway is a given with the suspension on its way out haha

Camber plates on the front. SCCA club spec cayman. It's has more body roll than I'm used to coming from a GT4 and GT3, but it's not far off and is quite playful/responsive.
On the street the rear settles slightly after the front like my 986 does which I don't love, but it hasn't done it on autoX/track.

It depends somewhat on what class you want to go to. If you use x73 and the accompanying dampers, you get upgraded sway bars and springs too, with the ability to still run street classes as it’s considered a stock option. If you put in aftermarket coilovers, you’ll bump to an ST class. This assumes SCCA classing. Pca classing is weird. (Dumb)
If you buy aftermarket like Bilanx, you’d probably want to upgrade your front bar to a gt3 style anyway to make the most of the shocks.

Not quite the question but does shaftworks make 981 parts? They only have 986/7 listed on their site.
I would not go with the GT3 bar....really under any circumstance, but especially if you're putting good spring rates on the front. It's one or the other - giant bar or stiff springs, both is just overkill.
