thanks rasta. i came across your post when i did my searches but was not sure if it was springs only...
there should be no difference between c2 and the "c4s".
your car looks awesome. mine is grey with the same wheels.
thanks

I did just the springs and could not be happier. In addition to lowering the car, imho the ride improved too...... Go for it

Yes I did both shocks and springs, but I'm sure it doesn't matter, the springs are the ones that sets the height, so you'll still get the same height as what I have even with the stock shocks.

Good Luck.. post pix

Nice garage you got there Mike.

Spikes, as many have mention it before, dont forget to get your car aligned after the swap.

SPIKES - I believe Mike did the Bilstein Sport Shocks and the H&R Springs.

Yes I did. Thanks Gota. Like I indicated above, it will be the same height for him 'cause it's the springs is what sets the height.
