Boxster Spec Suspension Streetability

[jaykay]

Hmmm... I guess I need to find spring rates for different options: stock S; M030; pss9

Does anybody have this at hand? This might give an idea of what I am getting into. You guys in CA have awesome roads with no freeze thaw damage

Yep, our streets are practically paved in gold

Actually some of the worst roads in the country.

I don't know which springs are on Chris Zang's car as I think he bought those struts used. Mine were new with factory springs and are firm but quite bearable on the street. If Chris got struts from a former BSR race car they are probably a lot stiffer springs. Every suspension setup is a compromise between comfort and performance.

If it was my car and I used it mostly on the street with occasional track days I would go USM030. Porsche sport tuned suspension with stock ride height.

For better front grip and a more track oriented car- ROW M030

For competition- PSS9s lowered, corner balanced, and adjustable sways.

Thanks I was leaning towards the ROW M030 with front GT3 control arms but I have trackies and racers telling to go with a Blistein Kit.

The car is primarily driven on the street and track weekends once a month average. I am on the stock S suspension now; it is getting scary. The front end really rolls and is imprecise; front tires are getting baked.

Also I wanted to ensure I get a set up that could take a more powerful engine

I am not sure you need he very expensive GT3 control arms
Look in the classifieds there are camber plates for sale, they do essentially the same
