M030: Comprehensive Write-Up

[insite]

This is a pic from the same AutoX. Again, note the body roll compared with the first two pics.

Great write up and documentation on your M030 suspension....I have this setup on my '98, also Guards Red. Have only driven a 2006 Box with a standard suspension, and I got the same feel on mine.....Its like it rides on rails thru the turns! The handling on the Boxster is what its all about IMHO.....

Just to confirm, both compared track runs are on the same tires running the same pressure?

[insite]

yes, same tire pressure. i also took the readings when the track was about the same temp. i'm going over my logged data and other info from the day. it appears my front camber is deflecting a bit (probably bushings) and that i didn't have NEAR enough dialed in.

with the proper camber set up front, i feel confident i will see between 1.1 and 1.2G's on the track.

Just to let me get this straight,you changed the springs,sway bars and bushings only? Would the stock shock be able to take the change over time?

[insite]

stock struts are fine. they do make M030 dampers, but from what i understand, they aren't valved any differently. they do have shorter rods, but my car doesn't bottom out w/ stock dampers.

And tires?

[insite]

same type of tires; i roasted my fronts at the track, so the 1.2 recording was on a new set of the same brand / type (BFG KDW2)

interesting this is a must do mod on the U.S. 996 911's never thought of it for the Boxster. Guess this will hold you over untill you go for the full PSS9, adjusting ride height is soooo cool.

with all those g's do you feel any strain the cv's or any other areas?
