i am considering installing my PSS9's this weekend on my 04 C4S... Was wondering, any how to's around here? Any issues I need to be aware of? I have installed after market springs and struts on a handful of cars in the past, 350z, Mazdaspeed6, BMW 335, VW etc... But this is a little different. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated fella's, thanks in advance!

 

I did the PSS10 on my car. If you have a good set of tools itmisnnot too badnofna job. The biggest challenge is on the front of a C4/C4S. The halfshafts prevent the wheel carrier from dropping down far enough for the top of the struts to clear the fender. You will need a ball joints separator and have to separate two joint on the lower control arm and deal with the halfshafts.

Remember that you will need an alignment after the install, but out a few miles on the car first to allow the springs to settle.

 

Thanks!! Wish me luck...

 

the install is kinda like a 335, so u wont have an issue i did mine in bout 2 hours.

350z is stupid easy lol

 

except rear strut towers easier to get to on the Porsche since you just have to lift up some carpeting.

 

Take your time when doing it. The easiest way to do the front is pop off the cv from the diff, remove the break caliper then drop the lower control arm from the body and then the top. Remove the whole spindle right out of the car. It's how I had to do my C4s. I don't know if the narrow body is any different though. It's a lot like doing the audi's except you don't need to drop the subframe in this case unlike the Audi.

 

except when u have a cage hahahha

 

Or when you have the bose enclosure. Had to remove it when doing mine.
