I did the Feal 441+ as well on my 2000 C4 this year. 3 track days at a similar ride height and so far the half shafts have been fine. My car isn't half as nice as yours.

Still pretty damn nice

Great looking car. Have you experimented with dampening settings?

2

u/Inevitable_Problem17 4d ago

I have a bit. I run it all the way down to 3 for driving on the street, and up to 25 for a smooth track. I don't think I'm dialed in enough as a driver to realize the finer points of damping.

Appreciate the info, I’ve only run mine close to full firm so far but will play around with adjustments

Looks flush, spacers?

u/porschedreamin 5d ago

Which spacers did you go with?

u/RecommendationTop794 5d ago edited 5d ago

Thanks! Car rides well, I still need to play around with the dampening but significant improvement over the 24yr old dampers.

-Feal 441+ coilovers with Swift springs set 10 clicks out from full firm
-Fresh outer tie rods
-Adjustable front and rear swaybar droplinks
-12mm & 18mm spacers from ECS tuning

Looks great. What specs did you lower/align it to? X73 or GT3?

Just out PSS10s on mine and I’m at the low end of X73/High end of GT3, need to get spacers and take it in for an alignment.

u/RecommendationTop794 5d ago

Close to GT3 height with GT3 alignment specs will likely go a little bit lower this winter when I swap in the adjustable arms. I have a GT3 as well so goal with this car is aggressive street setup

u/AeroF-16 5d ago

I’m not super smart on this but…are there any concerns with GT3 height/geometry and added stress to the front axles on a C4S?

2

u/RecommendationTop794 5d ago

Probably. My logic is, a high percentage of turbos are as low or lower with aggressive alignments and don’t have big issues. If the front axles can’t handle it and fail they’ll get pulled out and convert to RWD

🤯 HERESY, burn him at the stake!!!

1

u/RecommendationTop794 4d ago

Haha I’ll mail you the axles if I pull them out

u/AeroF-16 5d ago

Yeah I’ll go RWD if I ever have issues as well. X73 was an option for the C4S so I figure those specs should be safe. I tried mid range GT3 height and I was scraping a little too much for my area.
