Thumbs up Lower is Better

Hey Guys,

I put Bilstein PSS9s and M030 sways on my 2003 S and dropped it almost 2". It still has rake from front to back. The handling quality is terrific. The M030s keep it flat as a go-Kart. If a base boxster is a 5, stock boxster S a 7, then the current package is a 9! I have adjusted the Bilstein damping to 3 on the front to dampen rebound, and left the rear at the 5 setting so that I can hook the power up past the apex.

My wife gave me the gears saying that the ride would be too harsh. But she has now been a passenger to a radical 2 lane mountain excursion and thinks that the PSS9s are a better ride than stock. (wheww)

The Boxster can give you extreme levels of performance if you want to put the right stuff on the corners. Don't stop at a set of front springs if you want to throw your bad boy around!

Hasta,
Ike
