Recommend '02 model and forward....they added some structural rigidity

I beleive the X-74 for the cab is only recommended for the '02 model and forward....They added some structural rigidity to the car in '02 which makes it a better fit....

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Will the X74 fit on a Cabrio? On Sunset Porsche they only have the options for C2 coupe or C4 coupe. I would like to get a porsche suspension but want it lower than the RoW.
This is actually correct. Porsche ONLY make X73 suspension for the C2 and C4 Coupes. For the C4S coupe they make an X73 kit. They never made and X73 for the Cab or Targa due to the less stiff body structure and additional weight. Your best option is to go with PSS9s.
Ya know, I think this is just a Porsche liability thing with the cab. If Bilstein or XYZ company make a suspension for a cab it seems to reason that the factory set-up will work too. Might be a good idea to also include a sturt brace and of course the motormounts with the yellow dot.
I could be wrong but if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck........
There is no X73 kit for the C2 and C4.
There is one X73 suspension kit for the 996TT and one for the 996C4S.
The X74 is for the normal 996 cars. One version is for the C2 and one version for the C4 cars.
If one installs PSS-9 or JRZ on their cab - both suspensions which can be set much firmer than the X74 - no body questions the firmness.

I have x74 on my cab and it has been great especially on the track. Well worth the moeny. It totally transforms the car and now it handles as a Porsche should. A little rough on the streets of DC though.

I put the X74 on my 2002 C4 Cabriolet. Obviously, if you have a C2 Cab, order the X74 for C2's, and if you have a C4 Cab, order the X74 for C4's. They install the same, although I found it to pretty involved getting to the top of the strut towers at the rear because of the folding top.
As far as how they work, they are stiff. You are in a completely different car at this point. On smooth roads, it is really nice. When the road gets choppy, however, it is rough. Everyone has a different tolerance level for ride quality, so I'm not about to tell you that it's good or bad for you, but be prepared for a much harsher ride over broken pavement. You also have to be a bit more careful going into and out of driveways, over speed bumps, and in parking lots.
I suspect, over time, that this stiffness will exert its toll in terms of squeaks and rattles in the body and interior.
If you get a chance to drive/ride in one first, that's obviously the best way to decide if you want to do it. The lower ride height is perfect though.
