So I am actually looking for an (affordable) solution to push the front down
Any suggestions?
Humps = aesthetics. Spoiler = function. If you're driving at 120 mph, you're obviously racing and therefore should already have a racing suspension at a minimum and probably should have a front spoiler/ splitter/ground effects nose to keep your front end down. But, proper suspension first and minimum.

Chris, I see from your signature that you already know this so disredard the above transmission. The PIA aspect ( to some ) regarding the humps, isn't shared by me. I drive a Wrangler when not in the Boxster and am used to removing the top when traveling in good weather. Installing and removing the humps is less time consuming than a soft top so it's no issue for me at all. In fact it's actually fun as I can put on the humps and leave them on in the garage as long as I want before taking them off.
