So I should order the one that says "For the Turbo" on shox.com? Because c4sdriver was implying that the cost is 1900 bucks and the only one that has that price currently is the one for the c4. When I looked at carnewal, they seemed to imply that the one for the C4 can also be used for C4S.... but i'm confused at this point... seems like it should be the one for the turbo, but no definitive info from any website.

Thorin,
I installed the GM5-8848-H0 on my 03 C4S. You can ask shok.com to confirm part# from Blistein.

Sorry - I meant to say MTB mentioned 1900 bucks. That part number you mentioned is the one they say is for the C4. I'm pretty certain at this point that its also the one for the C4S too, but they really should do a better job of labelling it. Thanks guys. 1900 bucks is a great price, especially given where the dollar is now! Even with 20% duties and taxes, still WAY cheaper than buying it up here!

Also MTB - Where did you get that wing? Misha?

i bought it from http://www.wheelexperts.com/aero/996wbm/line.html for US $1200 + $100 shipping to an US address. And $500 local paint job and install it myself...it adds up! If you want your car to looks good go for it. But if you planning to do some track event, then I think you should spend the money on safety and performance first...race brake pads, GT3 swaybars, TRG droplinks, Recaro seat and 6 pt harness.

I remember seeing a turbo like wing for sale on rennlist. Do a search and see if you like it.

my 0.02

happy driving!
