Not really, you have to remember this is a well rounded car. A daily driver,road racer or drag racer. I put the swaybar back on and teh normal wheels that thing is ready for road racing, leave it as is, and I can drag it. In either config, it's still a daily driverThat's why I have two, easy to change cars than to change stuff on the car.

I like rear ends that squat.

Then again, my opinion don't mean squat.

In answer to the original question. No, I've never noticed any significant squat in any of my C4's. The 96's do have a relatively soft FE1 suspension, however. Regardless, even if the shocks are not worn out it is an easy upgrade if you don't like it the way it is.

I thought mine were fine but went to a set of KYB's and it's like driving a C-4 when it was new. $100. is a cheap price to pay for great handling (turning, stopping and launching).
