This article is the cornerstone of 'getting a C4 on track'. I read it before I made any suspension changes and it really was invaluable.

Have been working down the list myself. 21mm rear sway bar plus 225’s up in front made a HUGE difference in handling. Lowering it and stiffer suspension will be next…

Kudos to John's website for having this info so readily available to everyone!

did all the C4's have the same gearing?? Do you all also feel like the car is dead weight in 3rd gear?

I love 3rd. I just wish 2-3-4 were a little tighter.

As this is my first Porsche I have no experience to compare against my tighter gears, but I find that 3rd is anything but dead!

If you are only going 25 mph third will feel dead until you get above 4200 RPM
