C4S and TT's have different spring rates, that might be why. I'll measure mine again with my cups on( instead of the smaller snows).

Ok. Sunny day, but still cold at 30 degrees. Decided to take the C4S out to the office anyway and took pics. I know, I need to detail the tires and the trim, but it's too darn cold.

Thanks, Tim. I think the X73 is the best mod for looks and performance. And I haven't even taken it to the track yet.

Do I have to re-work your avatar now to lower the C4S? You know that there is the "truth in advertising" thing!

what kind of price are you looking at just for the motor mounts? do they look any different from the factory units? I doubt the previous owner did it in my car

They look exactly like stock mounts, different pn. They only come with the X73(?4) on a awd/C4S/TT platform.

I suppose you could order it separately. The part number specifically for the engine mounts for the X73 is "996 375 049 90". It comes as part of the kit, though, and I find it unusual that the original owner would not put it in. Why don't you make sure? First, check that it is the X73, and not some other suspension. Take a look under there, and the spring/shock assemby should be bright yellow. If it's bright yellow, then it is likely the X73. Unfortunately, the engine mounts look identical to the stock mounts. You'd have to get the tech to check the part numbers to make sure you do or don't have the X73 mounts.

You do have a C4S or a TT, right?
