I've heard choosing shocks and springs is best done in combination. But if the C4S has the basic US M030 suspension but at US ride heights, would it work to just purchase the ROW m030 springs.
Would this be a balanced setup if I'm not looking for major handling differences but simply a slightly lowered stance?
Thanks.

Keith:
The buffers are matched to the springs. You can just change the springs, but the cost of the labor is nearly the same for just springs, or springs and buffers (and it's the labor cost that dominates this modification). I would highly recommend the full factory (x73) replacement if you intend to race. But if you just want to clean up the lines, swapping just the front springs will look nice (20mm lower). The rear springs are only 10mm lower, with a +/- 10 mm tolerance, so you might want to modify only the front.
