This is something I really want to do.
Only thing I'm thinking about is speed bumps...but I don't think 1/2" will change that much.

Springs: $250-300-ish
Shocks: ?
My quote to lower was
$660 + parts + alignment (RUF Auto Centre). That's another thing, you'll require an alignment when you're done. From my understanding, the rear springs are difficult to do yourself. There's a lot of disassembing to do back there.
I read about lowering Boxsters
somewhere that said, when looking for a place to lower it, look for a place that has experience with
your specific car. Even places that tune suspension (race shops) may not know the tricks involved for, say, a Boxster specifically.
I don't doubt the ability of you and your friend, It's just my understanding that it's a process more elaborate than a simple spring swap. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to such a nice looking 987.
