ok... the X74 sure is low.... ROW 030 height should be stock one very porsche.. it just "looks right"...

is it difficult to perform an alignment once X74 is on... reason I ask is cause my buddy dropped his A4 with a koni kit and they couldn't get it on the machine for proper alignment!!

CJ,The C4S is about the same as M030, probably slightly different springs to account for all that excess weight!
Sloth I still think you had one of the best looking C2s around.

No they are not. The C4S has different spring for ROW and US versions. The C4S are a stronger spring rate than both a standard C2. They are on par with the M030 as the S means Sport. The C4S is probably a little stiffer due to weight.

I think you are right, the springs are stiffer, also row c4s's have a different pn spring.

My next question is how much of a bitch would it be to put on row c4s/030 springs? Any benefit?
Baby, it digs now but I want more!

My dealer charged $800 to install my RoW 030, the labor for the springs alone would be pretty close.

I am aware of a highly recommended (by rennlisters) alignment shop in L.A. that only charges $250-350, but my dealer had quoted me something more like $800. If you can find a local non-dealer Porsche shop, I expect you could save a lot.
