Hi,

I am considering the x74 suspension for my car and was looking for someone that has it installed that would be willing to give me a test ride to see what it is like.

I live in Campbell and occasionally attend the Santana Row Saturday meet.

Thanks,

Andy

I'm actually on the Right coast but I do have the X74. I installed it to replace my US M030 suspension. I have been very very happy with it. In my opinion, it is substantially similar to a GT3 ride, or at least my neighbors '04. It has made a world of difference in handling without being too incredibly jarring. Be aware that it is very firm and does not really like rough roads but on a decent piece of asphalt, it really makes my '99 C2 handle fantastically. You'll also have to be careful going into and out of steep driveways. The X74 drops the car about 40mm from the stock US ride height (IIRC). Depending on your bumper and driving, you could have some 'issues'. I have scraped my Aero I bumper more than a few times but because it is flexible urethane I've just got some scratches underneath and not really visible, except to the roadkill. :D

It is every Saturday when there is good weather. ~9AM in the back corner parking lot on the movie theater end.

Follow this link for more details, only change is people are not getting there as early as 8am anymore.

Often there is an impromptu drive afterwards.
