I read many of the threads on lowering springs here on 986forum.

But all of them talk about a minimum of 30mm or 1 inch drop.

What about a 20mm=0.78 inch drop lowering springs on a stock suspension?

Would I still need the adjustable toe link to get the alignment right? Would there still be a problem with bump steer?

I ask because there are replacement M030 Springs that I can get for $200 and the M030 Springs drop it by 20mm. I am already happy with the handling. I am just looking for a very "slight drop" for better looks and so that I can still enter my driveway. The M030 springs were designed for a smooth ride at slow speeds and a stiffer ride at higher speeds, which is perfect for me.

I am wondering if there would be problems putting M030 springs on the stock suspension on my Base Boxster 986. On a budget. Does anyone know?
