Differential Ratio
Has anyone ever considered altering the final drive ratio on their Boxster?
Certainly with the S model and it's tall 6th gear, I am sure shortening the final drive would not hurt top end speed. It would help the car feel a little more responsive around town too.
I have given up trying to get more power out of my car, nothing bolt-on is really significant for a low cost. I am keeping clear of switching to the single mass FW due to the issues discussed in depth by Jake Raby. It seems lowering final drive could be the least expensive and safest way to get more poke out of our cars.
I would like to hear others thoughts on this and if anyone knows where we could buy a differential with shorter gearing to fit our cars.
