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:

Looks good...where'd the black wheels go?

I hear a very loud scraping noise...

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1389387704.jpg

but how quick do your rims get dirty?

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!

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:

What do you guys do when your suspensions compress?

I don't know...maybe I'm nuts, but I need the curve of the tire and the curve of the wheel well to be near parallel to look good.

This "droopy eye" look is just hideous at any degree, IMO.
For those of you that like it, what's the appeal? Why lower at all? Aesthetics? Surely not a performance thing...? Just curious.

I lowered for aesthetics and performance.
BTW just upgraded to the KW V3's. They are gorgeous, I hope to swap them out for the V2's this weekend hopefully.

Lowering your car properly with performance coilovers designed to be used at lower ride heights and with stiffer springs will bring about performance benefits like lower center of gravity and less body roll. Also you can achieve some negative camber by lowering the car. Lowering your car is completely different from slamming it to the ground where it is just useless and you lose all performance benefits of going lower. just my .02

Now that's how Porsche should have shipped them out! . I think lower offset will have the fenders lips sitting on the rims... You probably have massive toe-in -- does the car steer from the rear when hitting bumps? If so you'll need adjustable rear toe links. RSS and Top Speed ( $279) make some.

headlamps
 

Yellow986

What kind/where did you find these headlamps? I recently purchased a nearly mint condition 986 yellow boxster with foggy headlamps. I want to replace with an upgrade but do not want to dish out 3500 for Litronic xenons.

It looks good at night! I hate how speed yellow drowns out and gets a bit green at night, particularly under fluorescents but the white rims give it a pop!

Pretty cool. With all the yellow it has kind of an 80's-early-90's air-cooled retro look about it.
