I looked at going used but Carnewal had them on sale under 2k delivered.
Leading evidence: 'Use but carnewal had them' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

I have found a set of lightly used Cross JIC 996 2004 turbo coilovers.

Overall I couldn't be happier, would absolutely recommend these, and a friend that drove the car this morning is ordering a set for his own car.

Suggestion
Fitment and quality on them is great for the price - I had no issues other than the rear top hat studs are threaded differently than the oem ones, so I had to run pick up a new set of nuts for them.

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.

Recently my 996 standard suspension/ struts have become crappy, I've been told by my mechanic it needs to be changed. I want to upgrade to coilovers.
I have found a set of lightly used Cross JIC 996 2004 turbo coilovers. I am wondering will these physically fit on my:
996 2002 C2
Has anyone had experience fitting turbo/c4s struts to c2/c4?
-What is the difference between all these coilovers besides the weight springs?
-Would they physically fit my car?
-If i were to put turbo coilovers on a C2 would it be too hard of a ride.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
C2 / C4 / Cabrio / Targa / Turbo all
take different applications
Despite all the 'will not fit' messages, my indy put PSS10's on my
C2 Anniversary car
there were no upcharges / comments about fitment
maybe start here

TireRack and Carnewal are also good sources
Used coilovers are fine. I've purchased three different sets on RL and have come out well each time.
It's actually the opposite of what's stated above, the rears will work fine from a turbo setup, it's the AWD fronts that have a different config.
I will have a set of Moton Clubsport 2-way remotes available pretty soon for a C2. But if you don't track much they are overkill.
Just had Darin and Chris at West End Alignment insstall new PSS10 on my 996 AE car. I really liked the M030 set up but the ride height was not appealing to me. I looked at going used but Carnewal had them on sale under 2k delivered.
With X74 ride height and a 5 setting the ride home was positive. Feed back; stiffness feels about the same as my low mile M030 (at the 5 setting) and looks right.
I will add two clicks firmer and do a little canyon run this week. I expect it will be a little more responsive and flatter on hard cornering.
I did have it corner balance with what Darin called a aggressive street alignment.
Moving from a stock 996 set up to PSS10 will be night and day.
I did consider FEAL but couldnt find much feed back from P car owners that have lived with them.
For me, since i dont track this car and really just wanted a great ride and lower x74 ride height the PSS10 fit the bill.
If anyone has installed the FEAL I am sure a few of us, me included would like to hear some feed back.
Two clicks firmer where, rebound or compression, either way it's not going to just give you flatter corner just because you went stiffer. There is more to it than damping/rebound settings
I had Darrin at Westend install my coilovers and springs 4 months ago. Had him set it up for canyon running. Substantial difference in the feel and handling of my 996. Darrin is highly recommended.
For those interested in the Feal 441 coilover, I've got the first set that they sold through their webpage. Finally got them installed and aligned last week, and I drove nearly 700 miles on them this weekend, a combination of highways and twisty backroads.
They were exactly what I was looking for - Feal sets them up with preload/damping before shipping them, and I actually found it a bit too soft. Two more clicks in the front and one in the rear and it was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The car feels like a proper sports car now, and was still a pleasure to drive all weekend. I think that once I get some stiffer sway bars and adjustable end links, I'll be done with suspension.
Fitment and quality on them is great for the price - I had no issues other than the rear top hat studs are threaded differently than the oem ones, so I had to run pick up a new set of nuts for them. The sway bar endlinks were a little clunky at first with the lowered ride height, but they have quieted down as everything settles. Going from stock targa height to X74 height/alignment was a significant change.
Overall I couldn't be happier, would absolutely recommend these, and a friend that drove the car this morning is ordering a set for his own car. If anyone is in the area, I'd be happy to show them off.
