So right now I have the 996 turbo front on my car. It sits a lot lower than the stock front bumper. I'll be damned if I don't have to drive the thing like it's a lowered Honda...sideways and slow out of driveways. Not my thing, the stock front is going back on. It looks great, but I am more of a believer that form follows function.

With that in mind, how does the Box perform with a set of lowering springs? I currently have a wholesale account with a performance company. I don't have much time to run the business these days, so I am closing it down. I may just order up some products for my Box before I close down...namely some H&R sport springs, along with H&R front and rear sway bars.

They are a 1" drop, and with the rounded front bumper, I will still be able to drive it like it's normal...it'll just have a bit more of an aggressive stance and should handle a lot nicer. I will also be replacing my tires soon, probably some P-Zero's.

Anyone here lower their Box? Impressions? Gracias...
