You might want to go for a coilover kit, the stock shocks will be destroyed in short order if you just change the springs.

i300zxtt is correct...this has happened to many people...you are better off with coilover kits...PSS9's are good if its mostly a street car, with some track time...but if it was up to me, KW V3's are the way to go, people are very happy, and they are only a couple hun more the the PSS9's and are 2 way adjustble...but if you do decide with the coilover kits, be sure to get the turbo spec set up and not the C4...

hey, thanks for your replies.

isnt that a "drastic conclusion"?
the C4S already has the trubo suspensions, right? how is it possible that 15-20mm less will destroy the stock shocks?
