The Turbo shocks might work since you are using different springs, but you might want to get some help in suspension tuning with these parts.

When using sport springs you should also use sport struts/shocks such as Bilstein B8's - they're designed for shorter springs.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Does 996tt shocks can be installed on 996 C4S? One shock is leaking a lot and I find a set of 4, 996 turbo shocks on eBay, I'm installing my h&r springs on those shocks , anyone did this before ? C4s shocks on 996tt or vise versa?

POST 2Original post

Yes! TT and C4S are identical suspensions. For the most part they are identical cars. Porsche just forgot to add the turbo. 😂 but yes. Suspension and brake systems are idential on both cars. I just replaced my entire suspension on my 04 C4S. When buying almost all the aftermarket parts they all say 996 Turbo/C4S. Now i have a huge pile of 65k mile suspension parts sitting in a corner.

POST 3Original post

The stock struts/shocks are a little long for the H&R sport springs - this could be why you've already blown one of yours. When using sport springs you should also use sport struts/shocks such as Bilstein B8's - they're designed for shorter springs. Good luck

POST 4Original post

The C4S has different spring rates and shock valving than the Turbo. See here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...l#post14125769 Also, look in the PET, there are different part numbers for the C4S. The Turbo shocks might work since you are using different springs, but you might want to get some help in suspension tuning with these parts.
