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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
