'02 C4S lowering

Drifting
All Porsches have matched sets of springs, shocks, bump stops, and sway bars. I think a better option (IMHO) is the RoW kit that lowers the front 20 mm and the rear 10 mm. Have a look at <a href="http://www.carnewal.com" target="_blank">Carnewal.com</a>

Doug,
This is one of the questions I've asked myself plenty the last several months. Here are some options in decreasing order of preference. Take it FWIW, these are just my preferences, and you may like soemthing else.
1. X74. This is a Porsche option, soon to be available for the C4S and Turbo, but only for the ROW, not US models. Can be ordered as parts for replacement of the stock set up. Lowers the car 30 mm all around. Expect some compromise on daily driveability due to the lowering. Here's a link to the simillar option for the C2 and C4:
<a href="http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p96079.htm" target="_blank">X74</a>
2. X73. Lowers the ROW C4S (which is already lower than the US C4S) 15 mm all around. For a US C4S, this will lower that car 35 mm front, and 25 mm rear. Here's another link: <a href="http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p96088.htm" target="_blank">X73</a>
3. Leave it as-is. It is awesome enough. I don't believe you wil notice the diff between the ROW and US suspension.
4. Coil-overs and whole set-ups from afterarket. Don't know too much about them, but lots swear by them.
4. H&R or simillar lowering springs only. Reportedly will suffice to achieve the lower look at less cost without sacrifing street performance or ride quality. May sacrifice track performance.
For me, Im kinda torn between the not yet available X74 vs the now available X73. Between the time it took to type this response and now, my first preference has changed to X73 .
Hope this helps.
