H&R coilovers sitting on 19's

Sitting on 19 inch, one piece forged Champion RS98's with 9ff/PSS9 coilovers. Cost ? About 70,000 Italian lira.

Lowered, raked, and corner balanced on PSS9s. Honestly I think this is too low to be practical on the street. I scrape the nose on everything and nearly stranded it on a speed bump once. Next time I go in for alignment I will have them raise it a bit and re-corner balance.

Corner balanced PSS9's on stock 17's with Toyo RA-1 racing tires. Minimum Spec Boxster ride height in front (90 mm) with slightly higher ride height in the rear to set the preferred rake. Car is street legal. It scrapes a lot on the street but I only drive it to/from the track.

Suspension info is here: http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/35845-suspension-upgrade-week.html I also have front GT-3 adjustable lower control arms. Total suspension cost was $4,050.

Which is about $17.49 in old money......:p

I couldn't/ wouldn't ever do this.
I have a grave driveway, and wayyyy too many dead animals of the larger varieties in my area. :D

Trimer, great talking to you on the phone yesterday. Here is the kit I mentioned;

Boxster Euro Suspension Kit (ROW M030):Porsche Parts & Porsche Accessories - Wholesale Porsche Parts & Tequipment

I bought my 993 Suspension kit from these guys, pretty sure they have Boxster items also:

FD Motorsports

You truly couldn't ask for more helpful people than Mark and Darin from FD, Darin talked me through some spring settings on a Sunday afternoon while I was doing the install.

Great talking to you to! Really appreciate all your jnsight and setting this jnformation on the thread for me! Let me know how it turns out with Paul. Next time im coming up your way ill give you a shout!

Is that because hitting roadkill with a lowered car causes too much damage to the meat and makes it harder to prep for the BBQ?

Not my pic, but M030 RoW on left, H&R springs on right.

I will be putting H&R springs on my car next week.

Trimer, great talking to you on the phone yesterday.

I always wondered if you had a "900" number.

LOL - thats funny! Someone has to pay for these cars!

Appreciate the pics. I want to lower my car a little. it sits up to high for my taste right now. I am going to keep this thread with the links on it for future.

Gemballa (H&R) springs - they feel really nice. I do scrape on almost everything Including my daily drive out of my driveway) but the look and feel are worth it!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1386156053.jpg

How about a "Front Protection Bar"? I googled it without any luck but several years ago I thought I saw someone selling them for Boxsters. Purchased one from Carnewal for my 993 after I installed the new suspension lowering it, it has saved the nose from scrapes several times. This might me an opportunity for an entrepreneurial Boxster enthusiast with a welder to become the next aftermarket mogul :). Pelican's instructions showing it;

I think wtf won the prize on this one. The below photo is from his posting in 2010.

Correct, years ago someone made one for Boxsters called a boomerang or some such. Basically some sheet metal attached to lower bumper skin from end to end... thus ensuring one would completely rip bumper skin off when snagged on a parking curb :mad:

That said, the 993 FBP seems to be a better designed option for intended protection.

Looking at those scattered witches hats, you may need to rethink your suspension settings J.

^ No Autox in OZ?

Trimmer,
You're in a good part of the country to lower the ride height.

I however put too many NYC miles on my car where pot holes can swallow a FIAT 500 whole.
I decided to go with the 'visual trickery' of adding side skirting.
It doesn't lessen the gap at all but by filling the empty area below the doors the car doesn't seem like its sitting as high.
And it's a proven fact that cooler looks can get you near 1.0 g's on the skidpad.

Damn that is sharp...

Understated class. Well done!

Man that looks stupid! How to take a great car and make it useless. I bet it's got a big subwoofer just to add an extra level of annoying.

what is the rim model on the left side one ?

thank you

Unbelievable...how have I not seen this before? This is my new favorite 986 pic by far :cool:

Low enough?

How funny is that. I posted this thread and just commented on this pic in Facebook today! I was the one that said nice looking ride...who owns the boxster in the background! Nice ride man...

Wow. Just how fkn stupid do you have to be to do that to a Boxster I wonder? As hard as it might be to believe, I'll bet the owner actually thinks that is cool and has no idea that people pointing at his car are laughing at him.

Hey Todd, nice to meet you here! :cheers:

Aha! Why don´t you show us yours?

Especially for you ;) :

JD, have you ever considered wrapping your windshield frame in black?

Mine is stock. I'm not one of those individuals that thinks he can improve on millions of dollars worth of factory R&D by spending a couple of hundred bucks on sparkly things at the local speed shop . Stretched tires not only look stupid, but are inherently unsafe, despite the bleating by their proponents of "I've been doing it for years and never had a problem". Setting a street car lower than practical dramatically increases risk of loss of control from grounding out and transferring the weight from the rubber to the underside.

You want a car that drags on the ground, buy a '63 Impala and change your name to Carlos. Don't wreck a great car in some futile attempt to impress your posse.

Not that I have a strong opinion on this or anything....

I know of a 63 impala owner. his name is Bill. Just sayin.

If you don´t like, why do you give here then unnecessary, stupid comments from? Mainly because you don´t know my car and no idea from, what it was made, and above all what is plugged into much money and technology in it. Enjoy your stock Boxster and let others do with their car, as they please.

PS: I like the Impala and Carlos is a nice name! ;-)

Hey, you posted your pic and asked for opinions. You should have said that you just wanted to hear the opinions that you would like and I would have kept mine to myself.

Mark, the starters question was to ask for showing lowered Boxsters. If you have only a stock one and you don´t like the lowered ones, why do you discuss here? No matter what do you like or think but don´t tell any stupid thinks about my car or my work, when you never see it in person or drive with it! ;-)

cheers Frank

Slick car, Spyder & Drbodzin. Nothing like a clean, black car.
