Not sure what your intended purpose is for the car. But the Bilsteins work great, they don't need to be adjusted. And for that price they must help your car levitate.

It seems the Bilstein rear shocks for the C3 are sold out on most online retailers everywhere.
All are on back order. Glad I got my set last year from Rockauto.
