You can get the heavy duty Bilstein shocks from this site for under $800 shipped.

Depends how low you want to go?
If you want to lower your car and replace the bad shock(s) then
the ROW M030 suspension is the way to go. It will lower your car and replace the shocks.
The x74 suspension is another option that will dramatically lower your car. More $$$ though.

if the ROWM030 comes assembled and you are thinking of just shocks, the savings in parts will not outweight the additional cost of labor (IMO) - RWOM030 is one of the cheapest routes to go -

Sunset and Porscheoemparts.com have the ROW M030 for $1,036, saves $100+ over Suncoast. Availability can be a problem. I know there are no sets for a C4 in the US. Last time I checked there was a set in Germany, 4-5 weeks.

Looked at http://www.eshocks.com/bil_veh.asp?M...=All&SubChar=Q. Can someone explain to me why the C4 fronts are $150 or so more than the C2?

I really like the X74......not too stiff....yes it is lower but it just drives fantastic. With the Euro going in the tank the USD cost is around $1700 (shipping included) from Carnewal.
