So they only offer front links on the C4 kit? Also sorry to hear that.

 

Yep, looks like they just updated the site​​​​​ to clarify. Wish we would have known that before ordering. Also, the Novak is on sale for all models $980 now.

 

Started with the rear cause it's easy. Already hit a snag. The top mounts don't line up with my bolt holes.

 

 

RaceWorks was quick to reply. They confirmed it's a mix up with 986 mounts. New mounts on the way.

 

Okay. I'm glad they responded quickly with a fix.

A few pics. Here's the rear comparison. This is at the max height adjustment. It's maybe 1.5in shorter than stock. But I assume the spring will compress less, so the minimum drop should be less.

Second pic shows the bottom cup threaded all the way off. There's a break in the threads I assume to show the minimum threaded distance (max height setting).

Everything feels pretty robust, but I don't have much experience with other coilovers for comparison - so take it with a grain of salt.

 

Adjustment ***** per request

 

Good to hear that Raceworks helped you out. I assume your project is left on hold for now?

 

Gonna try and take a swing at the front this weekend. Already checked the bolt pattern is correct.

 

My fingers are crossed and I look forward to learning about your progress.

I still haven't received any shipping/tracking information yet.

I am told my set should be arriving stateside this week and then they will fit the eibach springs and ship it out.

 

^^^^
Good to know. That's my situation too. Hopefully they'll arrive sometime next week.

Got the drivers front on. The top 3 nuts are bit small, so I reused the stock ones.

The drop at max height is only about 1/4in.

I had to remove my caliper as the brake line was too short to allow the original strut to swing out. I read others did not need to do this.

I removed the 10mm holding the brake sensor wire on the left and the 10mm holding the brake line on the right.

I removed the pinch bolt and then loosened the 4 bolts I show on the bottom. Didn't need to touch anything else to get the old one out. The new one is much shorter. I used a jack to hold the wheel carrier up while I tightened the pinch bolt on the new strut.

My only complaints so far are the small top nuts, no matching bracket for the electrical lines on the back of the strut, and the adjustment nut on the top of the strut looks like it wouldn't fit in if adjusted at max towards the inside of the car. It's already tight to the inside with a middle setting.

Should have the other one in tonight.

 

Looking good. Thank you for the update, pics and info!
