    I have an 02 C4 Cab with the same issue and it drives me crazy. Over the years, the dealer adjusted the door latch untold times without any permanantly good results. I would love to know how to get rid of this.

    Same thing with my 2002 C4 Cab. I've wondered if there was something that could be done about it, but haven't looked into it yet.

    I had this same thing happen on my 02 Cab. The dealer said that there wasn't a part to fix the problem so they ordered a new cluster. In my case, it was under warranty so it wasn't too painful.

    I bought a set of the shorter spacers when I did my M030 upgrade - the originals were the thicker ones. At the least, it buys you back some of the 10mm tolerance that you might lose if you get a long set of springs. In my case, I seemed to gain an extra 1/8 inch of lowering beyond what was expected. For me, that was worth the $28 extra I paid for the parts.

    I looked at the springs again tonight, and there is no doubt that the compensation indicator stripe is blue, sky blue, on both sets of springs. I'm not sure what that means. Maybe there is a new indication? Again, my car is an 02 C4 Cab 6spd The front springs are: 996.343.533.25 Lilac/Orange with Blue compensation stripe The rear springs are: 996.333.531.27 Red/Green with Blue compensation stripe Any ideas?

    Thanks for the info. No C4S, just a plain ole C4. My new front springs are lilic/orange and my rears are red/green. I verified the part numbers are what they should be for all of the components. The compensation stripe looked blue, but maybe it was actually a weird shade of green or maybe I'm just partially color blind or something :) -john

    I'm getting ready to install the ROW M030 on my 2002 C4 Cab and noticed when researching parts that there are compensation plates/shims/spacers that are part of the strut stack. Looking at parts lists, there appear to be two different thicknesses of these plates available with the thinner ones about 3mm less than the thicker ones front and rear. I ordered a set of the thinner ones with the thought of using those to gain an extra 3mm of lowering all around if the thicker one(s) are already installed. I know that these are designed to be installed based on the spring tolerance which is marked on the spring to obtain the "correct" ride height. I haven't found much information about the various colors that might appear on the springs and which plate or plates are to be used with each. My new springs have a blue stripe to indicate the tolerance batch. I'm interested in finding out what others have found installed on their cars when disassembling the suspension for upgrades. A single spacer? A thick (6.5mm front, 4mm rear) spacer? No spacer? Thanks for any info.

    Does anybody know the spring rates, front and read, of the X74 package? I know that the Bilstein sports are the same as the X74 dampers. Is there another spring that could be used with the Bilstein sports to approximate the X74 system, but with not quite as much drop? What about the ROW M030 springs?
