Can you get to the adjusters on all 4 Konis while installed?

How's the gearing? I think my biggest concern with the 986 (or Porsches in general) is 2nd gear digs.

I think things got a lot tougher with the 2019 ND2, but still a fun project. STR 986S or 987 base is also on my list of things I'd like to try.

I too think I would try 17" 245s square first, but that's pure speculation.
Do you have the part number for the US m030 springs? Are those even still available for sale? I've only found ROW at suncoast.

Here's a dump of my notes, which appear to be incomplete unfortunately.

Quote:
Rear bars:
18.7mm
19.2mm
19.8 - P101966 - 98633370120 - STABILISER 19.8 MM

M 030 US Springs:
REAR 98633353140504 Identification Orange Brown
98633353140504 (03+) / 98633353132504 (00-02)
FRONT 98634353116504 Identification Yellow White

For a MY00 Boxster S 6 speed:
Front US M030 springs - red/white
Rear US M030 springs - violet/yellow

For M030 03+,
ROW has red/yellow front and silver/red rear
USA has yellow/white front and orange/brown rear
All that data is copied / pasta'd from forum searches, so double check. I'd bet people on this forum actually could correct any errors on this.

I appear to be missing the p/n for the red/white springs, which is M030 front 00-03.
Of course you'd have to get all 4 correct springs and one of the swaybars to be legal.

Not sure if it's worth all the effort, but if you put some of those part numbers into Google you might hit a website that's selling the springs you'd need for $150/pair used. New is about double that.

Do you think this would be that part number?
