lowering is a very slippery slope. I was just going to do H&R springs for $300 and I finally finished with coilovers, adjustable control arms, new wheel bearings, new rotors, pads, brake lines, and the list goes on!

My simple lowering project ended at $3300

Lowering your 986

Lowering your 986 profile gives the car a more aggressive stance. The ride is stiffer vs stock - no question. However, you are much more in tune with the road.

You will have to be much more diligent with the road conditions. Lookout for those pot holes, curbes, and getting in and out of driveways!

Also, get an alignment after you lower your Boxster. You should check the camber and individual toe measurements so not to prematurely wear out your expensive tires.

Happy Motoring.
