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.

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

POST 45Original post

Quotes source post: 2411987

Quote: Fotostars: When I do a search for the part number, it only shows Eibachs for the Turbo, C2 and C4 up to 2004. There are no references to a part N# for C4S's. Did you order the Turbo ones ? I think the Turbo and the C4S have the same suspension ?? I even have called Eibach directly and they said that they were gonna call me back with the right info !! That was 2 months ago !! I think the problem that confuses the the issue is that my Pcar is a 2005 996 C4S, one of the few (and lasts) produced before the 997 took over. But, I would guess that the 2004 part would fit, but not even that I can find ????

Here's my '04 C4S. What do you guys think? I'm thinking about painting the bumperettes to match the color of the car. Good idea? And I was wondering if a GT2 wing would go nice on a C4S Cab, or is that a bad idea (performance wise)?

Quote: Love those wheels...Go with H&R lowering springs the ride is really good. I'm in & out NYC, Brooklyn & Queens...These streets are bad...really bad and the rides not that harsh with the H&R's

POST 75Original post

^^+1 with Lenny here, I've got a set of H&R springs on my 4S and they are just fine, not a harsh ride at all. Coilovers are great too, but not necessary IMO. I've got C/O's on my Boxster and I truly don't notice MUCH of a difference. Springs can be had for a few hundred bucks vs 5x that for the C/O's. Now, do bear in mind, the labor cost is pretty much the same!
