I’ve been trying to work out what size spacers to go with to get the stance I’m looking for in my stock ride height C2S on 19 inch Carrera Classics. Don’t know that I want to drop it any though. I think I’ve gotten to that age where I’m scared that the mods I pick will detract from rather than improve the car.

I took the rear bumper off my C2S to track down some buzzing that I think is coming from the heat shields, but I can't find it. It only happens at certain RPMs and usually under load so just revving it in neutral doesn't produce the same response. I was going to throw a little square of some dampening material on a few of them to see if that helps. Has anyone else had this issue?

My nose actually came up with this setup over the stock - bump stops were dead and mostly missing and the struts had better days. What I notice is now the rear is lower making it more of an even height. So overall, worth it.

I checked off just about all of the maintenance interval items on the list.
- Oil Change
- PDK Clutch Service
- PDK Transmission Service
- Front Differential Service
- Rear Differential Service
- AWD Controller Service
- Brake Fluid Change
- Spark Plugs (Bore scoped while in there with some pretty great news considering 80K miles in cold weather climates)
- Cabin Air FIlter
- Engine Air Filter
- Alignment
The 4S is good to go on fluids for another decade. Next up is a suspension refresh I think. I hear good things about the Bilstein B16s. Does anyone know if the Damptronic work well with the Sport PASM? Which I just recently found out was different from normal PASM?

Quick question, if my headlights have washers, does it mean that they are xenon/halogen? I'm going to buy the Morimoto headlights but I don't know which version to get and they distinguish between xenon/halogen and bixenon.
My options sheet says I have option 601 - Xenon.
I checked one of them and the part number seems to be 99763105802 / 99763105702

Busy day for my ‘09 C2 today. I took it to an Indy shop for front wheel bearings. The car has 114K miles on it and they found the front struts leaking, so I authorized that as well. The CV boots out back are starting to crack, so they plan to remove the old boots, clean and regrease the joints, and install new boots since they are not slinging grease yet. Front brakes will need replacement soon but I will do that myself. It is nice to know they inspected the car really well and showed me the issues instead of just telling me.
