C2 vs C2S suspension

i'm a newbie so please forgive me. i have searched the forum so this is not with out effort. i'm looking into building a salvage C2, but i want to have the widebody look. is there any difference in the rear suspension components? are they the same and the rear wheels just have different offsets or is there actual dimensional differences in the linkage? thanks for any insight and info!

Same, the difference is in the fender size, & wheel offset, all other parts are the same. However, a C4S has bigger brakes.

isn't the 993 suspension height adjustable. I've got some lowering springs. Looks like gemballa. But I find em too low. Don't wanna spend on new springs. But I heard u can adjust suspension. How true?
