C4S Lowering Kit check...

[ScottW]

So my local dealer is having a sale right now on parts and on the sale sheet, there is an item listed as

000 044 500 38 LOWERING KIT C4S 20MM ($1649)

I found this part number in the ROW Tequipment catalog and it is listed as

000 044 500 38 retrofit kit, lowering 20MM consisting:

996 333 980 15 spring strut (qty 2)

996 343 980 31 spring strut (qty 1)

996 343 980 32 spring strut (qty 1)

996 375 049 90 engine mounting (qty 2)

So my questions are:

1. Is this the X73? In the ROW 996 PET, it shows individual p/n for springs and shocks, so I can't tell.

2. Why are there three p/n for the spring/strut? Are the two rear the same and different fronts or vice versa?

thanks,

Scott

1. No this is an RoW 20 mm lowering kit. All parts for the X73 package are marked X73 in the parts list.

2. There is a left and right front strut in that kit.

This is the kit I got from guys at Andial, they were $300 cheaper though they said it only lowers 10mm. Are there 2 ROW kits for C4S out there?

Kit number of one I got was 000-044-500-28 Euro version which is supposed to be lower than US version

000-044-500-28 is a 10 mm RoW sport kit for a (coupe, 4WD, 6 speed). I think the MY02 C4S must be different.

This the MY03 C4S page from the (Feb 2005) RoW tequipment parts list:

When I called Sunset Porsche, they reported there are 3 ROW's for 996 C4S: 10mm, 20mm, 30mm. All different prices.....now I'm really confused as to which set to get....my needs are cosmetic only.....any suggestions? By the way, I'm sticking w/18" wheels.

thanks,
