Lowered 986 supenssion

[gabedrummin]

How low can a Boxster be safely lowered? I bought a set a Yellow Racing Coil overs Last April just now getting around to installing them and it seems like the car will be too low.

Not sure about the suspension but nice height stand and granite table

Thank you sir .Think I will make new lower brackets for the coil overs so the drop wont be so much.

Rule of thumb is not to let the control arms go below horizontal. Here are a couple of side shots that show where my car ended up.

They actually don't look that much shorter if you look where each of them will bottom out in the knuckle.

Just about 1.200 of drop. That lowered 986 looks nice do you recall how much it is lowered?

Going thru the same thing...

H&R Street Sport Coil Over Ride Height LOW

I’d like a solution that added back 1” or so. Might have to be springs. My setup retains the stock upper front and rear mounts so spring choices might be limited. I’ll swap those if I have to but would prefer to keep the rubber (mostly street car).
