Picked up a C4 and would like to lower the car a solid 1”. I’ve seen the longer rear bolts, and front wedge kits. Is this the route to go? Who makes the best lowering kit for the C4?

Damn! I guess you'll not be driving over any parking lot speed bumps or up a driveway entrance with a steep peak. You may never again fill your gas tank up above 1/3 full...Pow, Clunk, Scraaaaaaape!!!

At the front you you have two options. One is to modify the composite spring with a wedge kit. This require some work to get the spring out, then to get it back in to check result.
The other option is to remove the composite spring and replace the shocks with a coilover kit. Then it is easy to adjust ride height. To get same handling you would also need a stronger anti roll bar.
Rear is very simple with longer bolts. You see the bolt and composite spring in this picture:

Thanks for the pic of the rear, looks simple.I like the idea of having some adjustability on ride height. Any recommendations for the front coil overs?
