What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Oldcarguy,

I installed a Technobrace last year and like it a lot.
The back end of the car feels more planted when driving, um, spiritedly.

Hi BoxsterSteve, Thanks for the feedback. I’m looking forward to the test drive (if our road ever clears from the ice). At first I thought I’d never get the brace into position, but it went right in after I loosened the sway bar. I did have to install the right side bolt from the bottom due to an exhaust clearance problem getting the bolt in from the top. My side to side brace alignment was perfect, the bolt holes aligned and the bolts slid in with no problems. I guess the engine has never been out of the car.

My Technobrace went in easily too, it’s nice to know you don’t have to bring the cuss jar into the garage with you every time.
I’ve been using Akebono front pads for 2 years. The only difference from stock pads that I have been able to tell is the near complete lack of dusting.
I would have to wash wheels every few days with the factory pads.
With the Akebono pads, it’s every 6 or 8 weeks or whenever I get a chance to wash the car.
