Well they recommend the Bilstein because they sell it, I have read good things about it, if you dont mind making the adjustments on a street car then go for it, the Porsche setups are comfortable as well, far from uncomfortable.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, ill rely on all of you for input here. I want to begin upgrading my C4 for handling mostly, and need advice. What should i concentrate on first? Suspension? Sway Bars? This is a stock car now and the sway back and forth on windy roads is the issue i would like to fix first. What would you all suggest?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here is afull size pic of car...

POST 3Original post

Do the Porsche ROW M030 or the X74 suspension if its available for your car.

POST 4Original post

Wow! What a beautiful color combo. As clean as it appears it could pass for a newer model

POST 5Original post

RoW(Euro) M030 is your only option factory-wise. X74 is for MY02+ Aftermarket, the most talked about here is the Bilstein PSS9 (pricey though).

POST 6Original post

Thats what I thought, its been a while since I looked into these setups.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for the input. I spoke with a local shop and they recommended the bilstein, over the x74 and others. More adjustable as the driver gets more comfy with the ride.

POST 8Original post

Well they recommend the Bilstein because they sell it, I have read good things about it, if you dont mind making the adjustments on a street car then go for it, the Porsche setups are comfortable as well, far from uncomfortable.

POST 9Original post

looks like my car :> here's my 99 with H&R springs FYI if you are wonderiing how ride height sits.. 18" wheels with stock tires..

POST 10Original post

I am so pissed that i let the dealer talk me out of white..by far the best colour for the 996.IMHO. now i have an origanal Artic silver,,how many guys can say that........Oh yea i went with H R lowering springs and some bilstein shocks

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, they do sell the bilstein, but they would put in anything i ask. WHen i asked about the differences between what you suggested and what they said, basically it came down to personal prefrence. They had said that most of thier customers ended up removing the others and installing the bilstein. Adjustablity was the big thing. I will seek further input from everyone as to experiences either way. But so far, its Bilstein suspension, a b/m short shift kit and new tires. :-) And yes, i am glad i got white, though it is not as flashy as the black or yellow.

POST 12Original post

Remember, everytime you adjust those shocks you may have to re-align the car. Is it really worth it on a street car?

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

well, the way it was explained to me was that they will set it at amatuer for me, and i can change it as i feel fit in the future. I dont want to have to constantly mess with it, but the body roll and the sensations of the cars *** flying out behind me has got to stop. I used to have a Boxster so that is what i am comparing it to.

POST 14Original post

Thats why I recommended a fixed setup, the adjustable is most useful for avid track users.
