Post Lowering a C4S

We're getting ready to install a PSS-9 set-up under a '97 C4S and we 'heard' there were issues if you lower a C4 too far.

Anyone know if there's a magic number you need to stay above or what to watch out for? Viken?

Thanks,

Buck,
Viken doesn't post over here anymore after the INDYLAW/Whirlwind debacle.

Best thing to do is just try and see. A C4 or C4S is no different in this area than a 2wd 993. If you get a lot of bumpsteer you are too low. OR you could just get the bumpsteer kit from Gert to begin with and do the job once...

JimBob,
I wish you were my mechanic, you are the best...

Or, you could get the bumpsteer kit, and the GT2/Evo uprights, and go as low as you want.

btw, the C4S is no different from any other 993 when it comes to issues re: lowering.

It is too bad a few angry people drove away some of our best resources. I appreciate all the advice I get and read here. I read alot more than I post sice I don't know s*** compared to most of you. Is there any way to get Viken et al back? We miss you!
