Stretched & Poked Boxster

So here is the set up for people that are wondering. I did a lot of research to make this show set up work and took a gamble to get the right stance; but it worked

Here is my secrete recipe

1. Eibach pro-kit
2. Bilstein HD Shocks
3. 20x11 Vossen CV2 wheel at the back (had to shave 3mm of the back side of the wheel) with Pirelli Pzero 255/30/20 at 50psi
4. 20x8.5 Vossen CV2 wheel at the front with Pirelli Pzero 235/30/20 at 50psi
5. Eibach Front & Rear Sway bars

The end result is the stance that you see.

The ride is surprising good. I actually expected a rougher ride but i guess i got lucky

Handling is actually not bad either. With the added performance products to make this set up work, it actually handles like stock even with the big wheels

Roads in Toronto are actually good. If I lived in New York City or Montreal, i would not even consider this set up. I drive approx 5,000 - 7,000kms a year so i am not too concerned about tire wear either

One issue I did have when i lowered the vehicle was getting it back to proper allignment specs. It is currently 90% but have ordered adjustable control arms for the rear to make it 100%. Not sure if there is anyother way?? The Eibach pro-kit lowers the vehicle 1.0 inches in front and rear.

My only other pet peeve about the Boxster S is the sun visors do move to the side. I had a 350z conv before and having adustable sunvisors is amazing in a vert

P.S. The car next to the boxster is a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T with coilover and Fast F159 wheels (daily driver, therefore more of a flush stance)
