Time for a strut replacement - I have a DIY to follow, but looking for extra tips...

Thanks for your feedback. I've got GT3 LCA in the front now and I have -2.25 camber, unsure what my top settings are but I guess I will see when I remove the current struts. My plan was to install the KSports, leave the camber plate setting in the middle, and hope that I can still keep my -2.25. I am at -1.6 in the back, and I do have adjustable toe links installed, but since I am not currently lowered I haven't had to really use them to get my desired toe (just a touch in, not sure of the measurement). I plan to drop the front 20mm and the back 10mm (ROW M030 heights) and see how that goes. What are your heights like?

my lowering was relatively substantial - 1.5" all around iirc - and I did start to feel some bump steer as a result - made much worse with new rear tires however - fixed with some adjustable front toe links.

and I pulled my alignment info and reread - rear shock top mounts are three settings and I am getting -1.5 in the middle setting with adjustable rear toe links. front top mounts are slotted and I am getting -2.25 with standard control arms. with gt3 lcas the sky should be the limit for you.

and here is what that looks like with 235/40 R18 on 8.5" ET 53 and 265/35 R18 on 10" ET 40 wheels. getting passed by a cup car.

and if the painter tape numbers are too ghetto, here is the improved magnagrafik magnetic number version ...



in this pic you can see that there is still some space in the front (easily 1/2" / 15 mm) so was thinking of moving to a 245 in the front with a 7 mm spacer.

I know that I am doing this for performance reasons and not looks. But that looks good. Bonus!

thanks; OZ really nailed it with those wheels - light, cheap, and great fit.

Annnnd my Koni's just shipped before I could cancel them. I bought them from Carnewal so a return isn't an option, the shipping would kill me. When they get here I will make somebody a good deal on a brand new in the box Koni FSD for 986 Boxster. Watch the For sale section or PM me for dibs if you want them. $750 + shipping (around $20-$30, depending on where you are) + PP fees if you don't want to do PP gift.

Porsche 986 Koni FSD Shock Absorbers -

Normally just over $1,000 they are currently on sale for 20% off for $862 from most places that sell them.
