I'm in the process of putting f&r C4 suspension on my spare C3 frame. I'm finding it's not for the faint of heart. The C4 suspension is wider, so you have to choose between running later style wheels, or altering the suspension track width to keep the tires in the wheel wells. The C4 steering rack is a front steer, versus a rear steer for the stock setup. Lots of stuff wants to compete for the same space in this conversion. It can be done. It just takes a lot of work dealing with all the little complications you run into. Good luck if you go forward with this, and always remember to post pictures of the progress.

Yup, super PIA, but the thing is....from comments by smarter fellows, that the C4 suspension is not enough differant than the C3 to make any really great noticeable differance....in other words, not enough bang for the buck .....I was thinking along similar lines in that I have C4 wheels on the car now, so that would not be an issue...
