Lowered Pics :)
 
Lowered on KW V2!
These are great for DD and very comfortable with a soft dampening.
I like it stiff though, I three wheel entering my driveway :cheers:

but how quick do your rims get dirty?

woodsman 01-10-2014 02:58 PM

I love it! And the white wheels are a nice change. BigJake111 are you lookin' at this?
Yellow did you need rear camber links? I ask because it doesn't look like you've got much neg. camber- mines an inch higher and I'm at -2.

Nice job on the coilovers, looks good

Finals have already begin.... and you have no chance to win sadly ;)

it´s Geoffrey´s Boxster, he´s from the UK. car has an airridde installed, this height is only possible when still standing. While drivin the car is not lower then -40mm.

I'm new to Boxsters but not to Porsche's. In the 911 community a common change is setting a U.S. spec car to " euro " height. Is there such a thing as euro height in the Boxster world ? And if there is how much of a change is it ? I personally do not like the slammed look but to each his own. :D

I believe the difference in height between a US spec and euro (row) spec is 30mm. I could be wrong tho. Search for ROW M30 suspension kit to convert from US to ROW.

Below pic is a euro spec base boxster from Germany (RoW M30 sport). Not a dramatic difference with the US spec if you ask me.

If you are looking for a perfect balance, a true exotic stance (not 'slammed') for the Boxster 986, then coilovers and a spot-on selection of offsets/spacers are required. Search "Danger Mobile" to see a perfect example

Am pleased with the ride height of my newly installed H&R springs. Looks just right / as you'd like it to have come from the factory rather than slammed / modified:

Very hard to tell what with the massive wheels, silly offsets, sill covers and whatnot!

Eibach lowering springs & Bilstein HD's

Jesus, those Eibach springs really deck the car. You geo must interesting!

Nine8Six 01-11-2014 09:58 AM

OP, I'm guessing new wheels is your next step... what are your plans for style and color?

I have the eibach pro kit which lowers 25mm. Currently at -2.4 at the rears, but the alignment guy didn't have much experience with Porsches. Going to take it to another shop and see.

Here is the normal ride height from Geoff´s Boxter...

No, I don't need camber links yet. I still need a proper alignment but I'm guessing around -1.5 camber in the rear. When I get the car aligned I am going to go for a little more negative camber front and rear.
Thanks for the kind words! :cheers:

Hopefully some nice wide 3 piece wheels.
Either fully polished or polished lip and gloss white center.
Still deciding on widths but most likely 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 with a low offset like 35.

Tinkered with the ride height some more :cool:
I love the lowered car except when it scrapes :matchup:
