97 Boxster Suspension
 

How hard is it to update or upgrade my suspension on my Boxster? How do i tell if my air ride system is working? This is my first Porsche so learning as i go.

Congrats on the Porsche purchase- I have had mine for about a year and have learned a lot- (this is the Forum to learn more about your car)

Far as suspension upgrades/improvements- I don't believe you have air ride on your car.

I just had H&R springs installed on my car a few months ago ($800) with alignment- I love the look and the ride- it smooths things out and makes the car feel more stable. You have to pay close attention to the parking stalls/ road kill / and other debris or you will tear things up pretty quickly. I have yet to have any problems.

It just goes up from there- You can get several different types of coil overs which by what I have read on this Forum are probably your best option- they also sell a ROW suspension (Rest of the World) that is a major improvement that sits the car a bit lower but not as low as the H&R or other lowering springs.

My suggestion is "Read Up" there are many posts on suspension improvements! Depends on how much you want to spend- but more importantly what you are going to do with the car. Leave it stock and it still handles better than most cars out there!

Take a look at the Porsche M030 sport suspension. That's probably the route Id go.
