Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
If you decide to replace the stock struts/shocks, I'd recommend B8's as they're designed for those springs - I would imagine you'll notice/feel the difference in how they perform as compared to what's on there now.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I picked a 2004 C4S recently and realized that the ride height is lower than stock. Any idea what suspension does the car have?

POST 2Original post

Is there any numbers on it? First glance is it looks stocks with maybe some lowering springs but tough to tell with them that dirty.

POST 3Original post

Definitely standard, may even be M030 which would make it 10mm lower than stock.

POST 4Original post

Do you have the build sheet or options list? Does it say "Special Chassis Rigidly Tuned"?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No special chassis or M030 option, just the following: 342 Heated Front Seats 446 Wheel Caps with Colored Crest 513 Lumbar Support-Right Seat 586 Lumbar Support-Left Seat 680 Bose High End Sound Package 692 Remote CD Changer (6 Disc) 750 Delete Cabriolet Hardtop 762 PAG Code - Launch code 982 Supple Leather Front and Rear A1 Black AH Black Full Leather M6A Black Mats - Porsche lettering P74 Xenon Headlamp Package V9 Black Top XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest Y06 Alum/Lthr Shifter/Brake Handle Y29 Aluminum/Chrome X71,X70,X54

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 14931080

the car apperas 1 to 2" lower than a stock C4S that was parked beside me.

POST 7Original post

This might help but given age these may not be comparable:

POST 8Original post

If you clean the springs off there may very well be some identifiers on them. It's possible that they're "sport" (shorter) springs with the stock struts/shocks...

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

H&R springs are the struts oem?

POST 10Original post

Struts look OEM in design, springs I dont think would have come from factory with H&R on them. Other C4S owners should be able to confirm.

POST 11Original post

They look like stock struts (black probably B4), Bilstein B8's are yellow. If you decide to replace the stock struts/shocks, I'd recommend B8's as they're designed for those springs - I would imagine you'll notice/feel the difference in how they perform as compared to what's on there now. Good luck
