Suggestion · Original poster
Surely the camber settings will be way out, so I think I'll get a full geometry check done afterwards.

Any thoughts on lowering a Boxster by using aftermarket springs only, rather than changing the shocks too ?

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.

I know someone with a zucz induction kit on their 965 Turbo 2 - works well apparently. Dunno about exhausts, but they have quite a good reputation.
You can change springs independently of dampers. It can affect handling if vastly different rates (ie some manufacturers use soft spring/hard dampers deliberately to give more comfortable ride). I think going harder on springs, and a little lower, would do no harm. I wouldn't go softer on the springs.
Yes, you will need a spring compressor getting the springs off.
All AFAIK.

If your interested in lowering your car you should see my 911. It takes the p1ss. Infact it's going in this weekend to have some distance place between the bottom of the car and the road
I was going to use SPAX springs and I think they lower the car by about 30mm.
Surely the camber settings will be way out, so I think I'll get a full geometry check done afterwards.
If you lower the car too much you will be forced into negative camber. This = shit handling i.e. tones of understeer and a very jittery ride.
JZMachtech in oxford offer a good service in when it comes to sorting out the handling of your car.
I got the pro's to do my 996 C4.
Parr Motorsport did a top job lowered the car 30mm and changed the geometry so the car does not understeer at all, these guys run teams in the Powertours series and really know there stuff.
Lee,
we must meet up i would seriously like to see your car, as mine had the factory -15mm drop rather than the more expensive 30mm one. I think they look a bit better lower!
One the exhaust side i can seriously reccomend a fabspeed exhaust, mine now howls and barks. Quality is superb and bhp is up (
www.fabspeed.com
)
From experience I would be careful about swapping springs without dampers. I did this on a previous car and seriously regretted it, if they are shorter springs then they need to be stiffer (to control movement over a shorter distance) then you find the dampers are not matched and you end up realising why they do so many development miles to find the standard settings.

Hi Benno
Where do you live in Berkshire, I'm in Warfield would like to catch up with you and put a face to the name, we can have a beer and talk about the TVR and the Porsche days.
I have the factory fitted exhaust £££
but would like to hear the fabspeed one.
Thanks
Lee.
ZUCZ PERFORMANCE EXHAUSTS
Has anyone tried a ZUCZ exhaust on their Boxster or 911 ?
Is it any good ?
Any thoughts on lowering a Boxster by using aftermarket springs only, rather than changing the shocks too ?
Whats involved in removing the springs, do you need special spring compressors ?
Cheers.
