Lowering rear end on 2001 Boxster 'S'

[stephen wilson]

Keep in mind that many cars are designed with this rake , and removing it may affecting handling balance, and more importantly high speed aerodynamics. Rake with a flat underbody will develop some downforce, while zero (or negative) rake may generate lift.

wow, I never thought of that! M030 seems about level whereas ROW030 lowers the FR MORE than the RR, thereby creating a nose-down rake, comparatively. For those sensitive enough, rate of roll needs to be considered too. My car rolls evenly FR to RR now and is quick to do so.

Rake will change the relative roll center heights, and can be used to fine tune initial turn-in behavior. I don't know how sensitive the Boxster is to rake changes, but it is something to be aware of.
