New Hardtop, New Suspension - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Just picked up my Hardtop and had my suspension fitted yesterday. It is the KW Variant 3, very similar to the PSS9 kit. I have it set up 15mm lower at front 30 at the rear. The picture is from my phone, I will get some decent ones this weekend.

Got another track day and a trip to the Nurburgring coming up so hopefully it will be a bit tighter than the standard set up

Cheers

Fast looking car.

I like the hard top from that angle.

I'm soooo jealous you're going to Nurburgring.

Nice that you blokes can just make a day trip to the 'Ring. I'd love to drive on it someday!

Looks great!! To drive my car around the ring would be a dream come true. Have you driven your Boxster around it before? If so, how did you stack up compared to other vehicles?

Thanks for the compliments. It still needs fine tuning for fitment but I am pleased. The suspension is great, has not reduced the comfort levels too much and the stability when pressing on is amazing. Cant really tell if it is much better until the track event later in the month. I was going OK on the standard one and was not overtaken by too many cars

I live in the north of England so the 'Ring is about 8-10 hours drive (650 miles~) including 30 mins for the train under the sea. I am doing a 4 day trip 12-15th October. The dudes from London can do it in 1 or 2 days.

Congrats on the new additions. The top really makes a difference doesn't it! Make sure you give us a full report on the trip!

Nice man! Get some pictures and post an after-action report! Tell us how your awesome ride does!

I'd think you could do that drive straight through... I'm crazy like that, I'll drive from Austin to Phoenix (1000 miles) straight through. Takes me about 15 hours. I drove from Austin to SW Virginia once (1200 miles) straight through in about 18 hours once.

We're about to have Boxstoberfest down here in Texas this weekend. Tomorrow evening is the meet n greet. Saturday we'll be doing some drives... there's some great roads out in the Hill Country of Texas. I'll get lots of pics and post them Sunday.

Cheers!
