So I understand that the various lowering spring suppliers specify different springs for the coupe vs. the cab/targa and this is due to differences in weight, but does anyone know why they specify a different spring for a C2 car vs. a C4 car?

I would guess it's also to do with the C4 being heavier than the C2.

OKB

its the differences in the weights of all cars, c2 manual, c2 tip, c4s manual, c4s tip, all 4 different weight, 4 different springs. I think the turbo and c4s are interchangable

Dinicod

So is there a huge difference in weight between a C2 cab and a C4 cab?

Joe Ricard

not huge.

OKB

enough to matter

C4/C4S/Turbo have a different front suspension design than C2.

Dinicod

Hm, interesting, I did not know that. So apparently the suspension was tilted slightly towards the rear to make room for the 4WD drive shafts, etc.... So were the OEM springs different for the C2 vs C4 cars as a result?

C4 has completely different front hubs because of the AWD. The upper perches in the front are the same for C2/C4.
The rear suspension mounting points are the same for C2/C4.

I assume front springs are designed to hold more weight for the C4. Rears might be more heavy duty too.

Yes, I've been able to confirm that the vendor made an error and they are not suited for a C4. The vendor has been good so far and is willing to correct things for me (waiting for their update). Having said that, if someone is interested in them, shoot me a PM. I'm in Canada, eh.

Question: These are for a C2 cab. Wonder if they'd fit a C2 coupe with no issues? Although, they do sell springs specifically for a C2 coupe. Rear springs do fit coupe or cab - no difference.
