About to pull the trigger on coilovers and sway bars

Hi,

Truth is, either set of C/Os is going to be an improvement.

Unless you're dedicating the Car to AX/Track use and hanging Sponsor Stickers on the side, it's not too wise to sink lots of $$ into the car, because once you start, there's no end to it.

A couple other things to consider is that you will have to live with a stiffer suspension for the 98% of the time you are just commuting. Doesn't sound too bad now, but can get pretty annoying (for you and your Spouse/Passenger) with time. Also, while the Boxster can hold it's own in a Stock Class, if you're forced into a Modified Class (usually happens when you add DOT Race Rubber), despite the fact that you'll get a more satisfying drive, and probably reduce your times, you'll consign yourself squarely into the middle of the Pack because lots of cars will be better set-up and have more ponies on tap- you could actually make your car less competitive by jumping Classes, and spend lots of Do-Re-Mi doing it.

The most practical thing for a Street Car is to get the lesser expensive set of C/Os and use the difference to buy the Rubber (especially since this is a consumable). All IMHO of course...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
