Who nose?

Hey Mon,

I do not know. Check their site, or call them. They are good folks.

There have been some pretty long threads here on Boxster front bumpers if you want to get lost in the options available.

Good Luck,
Ike

Lower is better in my book...you just need to be careful on curbs and such. I've scraped the under nose a few times on ingress/egress at times, but nothing serious. I have H&R sport springs which lowered the car about 1.5" from stock.

Stock Height

Whats stock height? Mine was lowered at the Porsche Dealership before purchase. I am measuring from pavement to fender wheel arch 24.5" in the front and 24.75" in the rear. How much lower is that than stock?

Mine's nice and low. The aggressive look is a million times better than the four wheeler height of the standard springs.

Just remember that the lower you go, the rougher the ride will be. My car is now so rough riding the wife won't ride with me!

So there could be a hidden blessing in a rough riding lowered boxster... no backseat driving!
