Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Hi - I have '01 996 C4 with 65k mils, I just replaced all suspension parts, and upgraded to Bilstein b6's - turns out they are too firm for me, especially with the crappy roads around my house.

The rears are the same, so I don't want to end up with a car lowered in the front and stock in the back, or replace the struts 3 times!

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi - I have '01 996 C4 with 65k mils, I just replaced all suspension parts, and upgraded to Bilstein b6's - turns out they are too firm for me, especially with the crappy roads around my house. I now have the B4's to install, but noticed the the strut length is 23cm shorter than the factory strut. when i check the part nbr on-line, 22-113344, they are the same for C4 with or without sport suspension. Not sure how that can be, given the ride height and springs are different. Before I do the replacement - can anyone advise that its ok or not to install these shorter struts? The rears are the same, so I don't want to end up with a car lowered in the front and stock in the back, or replace the struts 3 times! thanks...

POST 2Original post

That is interesting. Are they shorter than the B6 or the stock? I would have thought they would be the same with ride height dependent on Spring choice.
