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?

You should have no problem getting your vehicle back into alignment after only lowering it 20 mm . In fact, many of us have lowered our vehicles significantly more without having to resort to adjustable toe links or camber plates . However, there is a consensus of opinion, that changing springs (i.e. spring rates) alone can lead to suspension "droop" over time . For that reason, most choose to install the full M030 kit . Or, they go the route of aftermarket shocks or adjustable coilovers .
