HI
Just purchased a 2002 boxster from Stratstone UK dealer. Picked up the car and found that the car had not been pre checked prior to handover. Although the front discs and brake pads had been changed. After sales very poor and would not recommended to use this dealership.

Anyway the car was handling awfull in the wet and very light steering in dry weather. No grip on the rears at all in the wet.

On further investigation found cheap brand of tyres on vheicle. Non N rated.
Yaskowa and Yokohama.

Just fitted new Cont SP Contact 2 on the rear N rated and this has totally transformed the vehicle. The whole set up has changed and the steering is now positive and the rear now gives me confidence in the wet.

The car drives a lot quieter and the ride is a vast improvement.
I had to bite the bullet . Gladly it worked
