hmm

it doesn't look bad. but i wonder how the aftermarket wheels will look? it seems like everyone that has put on 18x10 aftermarket wheels have lowered the car.

does it handle a lot better? we know theses thing already handle so well. i would think that messing with the suspension (lowering) will just make the ride stiffer and not handle as much. we don't have too much high center of gravity to worry about. these cars are alreeady sitting fairly low stcok.

i guess how much is too much and how much is enough? there's that suspension package that comes stock that lowers the car a bit less than the north american cars. i forgot the name.

i may start a new thread on suspension. i'll also look around.

Well with the H&R's your right its moslty show and stiffness, however the PSS9 system is in a whole new class. If you think the boxster handled well stock, the PSS9 will blow you away.
