993 C4S lowering springs. Help!

I can not seem to find lowering springs for my Porsche 1997 993 c4s. They only have it for the c2/c4,targa et... But no c4s. I'm curious to know if Ithe c2 /c4 springs are compatible with my car. From what I was told, the c4s and the turbo share the same suspension so I wanted to be sure before I by springs.

They are all the same. Really your best bet for lowering the car is either the Euro/ROW M030 kit (factory parts), or get Bilstein PSS10's.

Problem is the stock shocks are weak, most likely blown already. If you do add just springs, in 6mo or less your should will be blown, & you pay for the labor 2x.

Any spring for the 993 will fit any car. If it's for the C4, you can put them on the C4S.

Good advice from Stealth, lambo. I do have a set of lowering springs that came off my 97 C2 Cab (see pics on thread "Trade 19" for OEM 17"/18"?"). I took them off, put on OEM springs, and immediately had to put new Bilsteins on the rear. Old ones were completely shot.

The springs I have lower the car about 1 1/2" to 2". They are Eibachs. Yours for $200 + shipping.
