What better way to start '07 than to join this forum? The info. on this site has already been helpful to me and by Boxster.
I have an '02, seal gery w/ black partial leather "S" that just turned 11,000 miles. I have added 19" RH turbo wheels, Litonic headlights, smoked tail & marker lights, EVO airbox and a short-thow shifter. Future mods may include a 1" drop, sportier exhaust and GT3 seats.

Welcome!

Very nice car. Seal grey is a great color. Not too dark...not too light.

Thanks for the welcome. Love the wheels but I really think the car needs to be lowered for it to look just right.

Love the wheels....19's look so good....whats the ride like, is it standard suspension?

After installing the wheels, the ride was much more harsh at speeds over about 45-50 mph. and mainly from the front end. After checking my air pressure , I found my dealer had inflated them to about 40 lbs front and rear. I lowered the pressures to 29front, 36rear and now it feels much like it did on the 17's. I do have the standard suspension and as it sits now it is about an inch higher than a stock Box. It now needs to be lowered an inch for it to look right. I have orderd the H&R spring kit and will have it installed by next week if all goes well.
