The most smiles per mile mod?

[madmods]

Replacing "burned" stock headlights with a Bi-Xenon conversion kit. Those are NOT the $2500 Litronic headlights, they are self-modded! Best mod so far imo... full exhaust system goes second

The winky guy means you're joking, right?
Headlights are better than a short shifter, 3.8 or KW V3 suspension?

Yea that's right, most smiles per miles, glow in the dark and stuff mate. Did those headlights myself.... was actually giggling like a little school girl when I first switched them on!!! Not joking but not serious either no worries ;-)

I love my RoW M030 suspension. There is no body roll, the car just moves over when you turn the wheel. Incredible communication with the chassis too.

blue2000s,

Did your car come with this setup or did you add it? It intrigues me, but I have reservations at the same time. For my 'old man' style of driving the standard suspension is more than good enough. OTOH, my suspension needs to be freshened, and I do like the stance the M030 provides. Since I'm already riding on big tires and wheels I'm concerned about making the ride quality worse. And lastly, I've never had issues with clearance or bottoming out. I don't want to see that change. I guess this is why I haven't done anything to the suspension.....

It's actually the RoW part that lowers the car. You can piece together the US M030 and the car stays at the same hight.

I installed mine almost as soon as I bought the car 6 years ago. The ride is stiffer, but I like that, feels like a sports car, not a GT.

It's lower with alot of front overhang, so you have to watch out for things that you might not have before. I can still make it up my softened curb driveway, but if I go down it straight, the front end will rub slightly.

Here's my option on this. I bought a sports car. I want to feel the chassis, the road and have the agility of a sports car. I didn't buy it to show off and I didn't buy it to satisfy a mid-life crisis. The M030 brought out alot of what I wanted in this car. I would have quickly lost interest in the car and wouldn't have had it long if I didn't make this change.

Thanks for the reply, blue. I'm still unsure about what to do with my suspension. I'm confident at some point something will provide the needed clarity.

I'm surprised I've kept my 986 this long (almost 7 years) and still enjoy it as much as I do. Other than my first car, which I kept for 13 years (and served as my DD while I had a 944, a couple of Corvettes, etc.), this is by far the longest I've had a car without getting bored with it. I think it is a great testament to the brilliance of the Boxster!
