I like air suspensions on some vehicles but the boxster is not a car you want to lay frame with. Lots of plastic panels and some important hoses underneath that won't take any kind of abuse like that. Like you said "But to each their own i guess!". That being said, I would imagine you could replace the Porsche struts with a generic airbag strut or fab something up pretty easy. I have a strut laying around if you need some measurements?

That would be awesome if you could take some measurements! It would be awesome if I could know the:
Height of the strut body
Diameter of the part of the body that is clamped in the hub
The thread of the strut rod (if you have the tools)
And possibly the distance between the 3 bolts on the strut mount. The part that holds it to the strut tower.

Thankyou in advance for your help!

Youve gone so far as to make your own thread on this subject, and you have made your meaning clear. Hows about rather than crapping on peoples threads you just avoid the mod questions? Nobody is interested in your agenda, especially the new folks with legitimate questions.

Who pissed in your Wheaties this morning?

So only you can have an opinion?

I asked a legitimate question. Someone asking about that kind of mod is likely to look at Lambo doors as well.

These too:

There is nothing legitimate about downgrading a vehicles handling & therefore safety!
