Think you will run into different problems if you really want to slam the car, because of the axle and trailing arm construction. Also as mentioned before the underbody is completely dressed up with plastic elements to improve air flow. So if you get too low there wille be a lot of damage. Think this will be a challenging project.

I would be driving it close to stock height to keep the damage to a minimum. That's the only reason I am not doing a static set up on this car. Only to be parked and slammed.

Boxster kits tend to look pretty good, even fake Carrara GT kits. However the wheel wells ALWAYS look off and it ruins everything.

OK, but before starting the project i would recommend to take a very close look at the axle construction and esecially the training arms. I'm pretty shure the trailing arms will limit the lowering so you can't really let the car sit down without damaging something.

And because the Boxster is intended to be a sports car - if you install the air bag suspension - this will never work under sport aspects. So than your car is no longer a sports car. It's than a show cruiser. If that is your intention - OK. But don't expect a sports car driving experience from a bagged car.

I have no intentions of taking it to the track or spirited driving. Just for show purposes.

You say you sold your last project? I'm not sure what you're planning to do with this one when finished, but bare in mind that the market for heavily modded Porsches is basically nil. In my experience most Porsche fans like their cars to be close to original in general, so don't be surprised if you end up losing a lot of money if you sell it. Maybe you don't care about that, in which case good luck.

I don't plan on selling it for a long time. I'll probably keep all the stock parts and put it back to stock if I do sell. But I actually parted out my last project for that reason. No one wants the worlds lowest mustang. Every mustang guy wants the typical big tire, no power car 😂 I'm sure just like the Porsche guys wants an original car. Completely understandable. But I like to do crazy things.
