Main differences between C2S & C4S?

Apart from the obvious - 1 is 2wd and the other is 4wd, what are the main differences between the two S models.

C4S has turbo running gear including brakes but are there any other significant differences?

Thanks
 
Off the top of my head:
C4S had turbo look (solid spoke) 18's standard v's S had 17's standard with turbo (hollow spokes) 18's as an option.
C4S had turbo interior (so full leather, upgraded sound package, computer, air conditioning as standard) v's S had full leather (I think this was standard) + aluminium inserts on gear knob and handbrake.
Sports seats were a no-cost option on the C4S not sure about the S.
All C4S's are manual.
I'm sure there will be some other things...
 
Looking at the 1996 brochure the only other things I can spot are:

That the 2S has the split rear spoiler (but the 4S does not - has normal spoiler - seems strange - but definately the case in the photos)

The 4S has the "4" lights (clear lenses front and side, red indicators at rear) whereas the 2S has the standard amber jobs

The 2S has the coloured wheel centres, I think the 4S has the C4 wheel centres but all the side shots show the car moving too fast to be sure[:)].
 
The C4S has the big red brakes from the turbo, hydraulic pressured.
The C2S has the standard brakes, vacum assisted.

4S has normal spoiler

The 2S has the coloured wheel centres, I think the 4S has the C4 wheel centres but all the side shots show the car moving too fast to be sure[:)].

Forgot about the spoiler and wheel centres are similar to boot badge (i.e they are marked up 4S).
 
From this very site, the FAQ - Buying a 993 bit...

#5 Drive both 2 & 4 to decide that one. 4wd will understeer rather more.

M033 (lowered suspension M030/TT height) fitted as standard to S models

#13 Big Red brakes (4S, TT, RS) are great, but the standard Brembos are outstanding anyway, and lighter.

If the 2S was specified with 18" wheels they will be turbo hollow spokes.

I don't think the suspension on the 4S was actually "turbo running gear". Anyway, by now I expect not many will be running with their original dampers and some will different springs, ride heights, geometry settings...
