We have replacement fans, motors, or an upgraded fan kit. A lot of C4 users buy the upgrade and we have nothing but positive feedback about it.

"Spal" fans are the best aftermarket fans available.

They have a lot more torque than others and the cfm is rated with the fan mounted and not free air.

Dewitt's fan is a direct fit fan. It hooks right into the plug on the car just like stock, no splicing or taping required..There fans move way more air then stock..(2360 cfm) as compared to (1700 cfm) for stock...WW
