well got the kyb's installed today. test drive was sweet. it had a really old set of monroes on it. made all the difference in the world. got the set of four from " just suspension" 127 out the door. thought this was a good price. i have the z52 option which i prefer the ride on. not as bone jarring of a ride. i dont auto cross or race it so it suits me fine. was wondering though what is the correct height from the top of the front wheel to the center curve of the hood. looking at pictures mine seems low. was going to put it up on the lift next week when i install the new exhaust. so guess i'll ck the front spring connector to make sure it isnt sagging in the front. has the stock 16's with 255/50r16 falkens which i picked up for 350 new from discount tire outlet on line.

I don't know about putting them on a c4 but I did put them on my Suburban and I like them.
