Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All About to pull the plug on a Boxster 987.2 S and have a few questions. 1. I would like to lower the suspension to that of the the Spyder/R. Is it 15mm or 20mm the preferred and best place to get springs from experience? I understand they need to be linear to be compatible with PASM? 2. Steering wheel - I would like to upgrade to a Sport wheel but does anyone have any knowledge of fitting a later 718 wheel? Problem looks like trying to source one... 3. The car has an upgraded soul cat back exhaust. Would a remap compliment this nicely or would it be worth adding a larger plenum/throttle body to get more Bhp? (My father has a 718 Spyder so I need to try and keep up with him as best I can) Many thanks Chris

Hi Chris, It's Porsche only for the R springs as far as I know, I recently bought a set. Be careful as there are slightly different versions (Spyder/Cayman/PDK/manual). They are not cheap but the aftermarket ones are listed as -35mm drop (-25mm from PASM ride height?) which was too much for me. I fitted B8's with them. Cheers, Dunc.
