Really? I didn't know I had to lower it first. Well that's also going on the buying "que" then. And thanks for the help everyone! I'll be thread hunting soon.

yeah there really is no NEED to lower it, but it should help a lot one way or another

I NEVER said you HAD to lower it. Just seems like you would if your going to install those.

why would you make that assumption? just curious?
those are just there to stiffen up the front end and back as well...and thats all.
lowering the ridehight has nothing to do with it, although it does help a lot in cornering and whatnot for sure, and it would help, but i dont see why you would assume that he will lower it right after installing these, and yeah i know we all want to have lowered boxsters, but still

Yes, that's why most people add these after or while doing a lowered suspension, for added suport. That was my reason for asking. You said it too.

well yea, i know that, and so do you, but adding them without lowering will stiffen it up already, as others said, and noticed

but even when you lower it there is still more work to do if you wish, there always is
