Question C4 widebody rear spring rate - same as turbo?

I am curious, does a C4 widebody have turbo spring rates, or the C4 spring rates in the rear (189 vs. 263)??

Just curious, thanks

What color is the paint mark on your springs? From PET the turbolooks should have an orange or violet dot and the Turbo/M030 has green.

No, spring rates were unique to C4 widebody. Actually, even different than the 1993 C4 according to PET.

out of curiousity, does the C4 widebody have a different rear craddle than the standard width? How is the extra width acheived? Different trailing arms?

Yep, different trailing arms. And the springs have purple dots...
