996 H&R lowering springs
I want to lower the turbo, and was not paying attention when I bought a set of springs, they are for a C4s
I was under the impression that C4S and Turbo shared the same suspension... can these be made to work , or what are the differences?
would someone who knows more than I do (anyone!) chime in
Thanks

Maybe different spring rates for the different weight and f/r balance of the Turbo vs 4S?

I think it depends on the manufacturer. Ohlins R&T coilover kit is same for the Turbo and C4S.

This is the H&R part number for the HR "sport" springs for the C4S: 29466
while this is the H&R part number for the red "sport" springs for the 996 Turbo: 29385
this suggests to me, they are not the same part. i would swap the ones you have, for the correct part number part if you cannot confirm easily they are one and the same. too much hassle to attempt an install only to possibly find that they are shorter, or something.
