anyone else think their car needs lowered? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I don't think my car needs to be lowered. I like my suspension travel and not scraping. Mine is also a 986. 987s have much larger wheel wells to support the larger, more trendy wheels that consumers desire.

It's true - the roads here do stink. They are very "well-traveled".

The aesthetic advantage is important, but when I found out about the performance advantage, that really turned me to this.

MNboxster, you said that the height is adjustible w/ coilovers, right?

I suppose I don't really need it right now. I'm not exactly a track driver or Auto-x'er.

Anyone know the least expensive coilovers around for the Boxster? I'm considering the bilstein PSS9 set-up, but $1800 + installation sounds pricey..

If I can save $$ on the actual parts, then I'd be happy.

Der Geist bought a set for a lot less than that and is happy with them. Fully adjustable too.

Yes, Ksport USA makes some coilovers for the boxster, and they go for around $1200 at Vividracing. They're listed as 96-05, which to my guess, means the 97-04 986. Not sure if they have an application for your 987, though maybe you could give them a call and find out.
