Measurements of Lowered Boxsters
Hello,
I am investigating a few changes to my suspension. As some of you know I am running a set of coil overs and throughout the past 6 months I have changed spring rates, toe links, camber plates and anything else I could think of to get the set up "just right".
Currently the alignment is right and the tire wear is back to Porsche normality.
The ride is great on smooth roads and bearable in the city. The interstate is killing me. If I hit a dip or a rise as in overpasses the car feels as if the rear is coming off the ground. I know for a fact that the rear tires did come off the ground in one occasion because my friend was behind me.
I am tired of this problem.
I have decided to go back to an OEM type suspension and lowering springs. I ran Elbachs for a few years and never had a issue with them.
But I am in love with the slammed down look of my car. I am not keeping my current set up but I am switching to something else, i just dont know what yet.
What I am looking for is a few measurements of OEM 986s and lowered 986s.
I dont remember what the OEM height is or the lowered height on lowering springs. My memory recall is my car is 24.5 inches from the ground now, through the center of the rim to the fender in the front and the rear I dont recall.
If a few of you can measure your car through the center of the rim to the fender front and back It would help me decided if I want to try another coil over or just go back to lowering springs.
If I decide to go to lowering springs we get to have another thread on shock options ( I think Bilsten is it) and another thread on sway bars!!! Are you guys looking forward to this again??
Thanks for all your help in advance.
OH by the way the PSS10s look real tempting.....
