I used the PS10s on my 1996 C4S and the only problem I had was getting the rear drop links on right so they left enough gap so as not to bang against the lower control arm.

Suggestion
I also recollect that for the PSS9's, Bilstein recommended the C4 version for the owners who had C4S's.

Suggestion
I did some reading and found that there were quite a few folks running the Turbo version on their C4S's.

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.

Well I'm confused.
Depending on the web site I get following different numbers:
W0133-1808690
W0133-1819227
W0133-1836641
And these are for Turbo/C4/C4S
With some cross-references it looks like W0133-1819227 is for turbo only (not the same than C4S ?) but two other ones are sometimes advertised for C4S, sometimes for C4, sometimes turbo
Those of you who upgraded their C4S, which one did you go with ?
Thanks !
I bought a set of Turbo PSS9's to put on my car. I have had no issues so far; overall the car feels solidly planted while not being too harsh. I also recollect that for the PSS9's, Bilstein recommended the C4 version for the owners who had C4S's. I did some reading and found that there were quite a few folks running the Turbo version on their C4S's.
Now, I know this information is for the PSS9, but I think it might apply as well to the PSS10's. BTW, if you are so concerned, why don't you call Bilstein and talk to someone there - that's what I did!
That's why I'm so confused. I contacted 3 folks and got 3 different info. Bilstein reps go against their own products description.
-Partsgeek
-Bilstein
-Wheelworks
3 different recommandations.
So far I've been happy with whatever the techie from Wheelworks has done to my cars, so maybe I'll listen to him.
I used the PS10s on my 1996 C4S and the only problem I had was getting the rear drop links on right so they left enough gap so as not to bang against the lower control arm. I had to go with modified Tarrets on the rear drop links (one end Tarret 964 and one end Tarrets 993) versus the supplied PS10s that broke.
Feels solid and a tad rough at #5 setting. But in wet and even some packed snow, it is solid and unlike the stock setup. It is lower of course so I cannot plow much snow.
