Our mate Greg240 has tried both and was impressed by the difference, unfortunately he is away for a while. Hopefully he will post an answer as soon as you wish!

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.

thom - Do you ever go home? ADParker. WHat wheels did you order on your new beast? Are you sure you'd want a "sports chassis" on 18" rims? My normal chassis 'S' on 18" seems quite "in touch" enough with our British roads I can tell you...
POST 3Original post
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean
POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
I went for 18" Sport Design wheels. Will it make much difference from the standard 17" rims?
POST 5Original post
Others may disagree but I my view - yes. The 18" wheels 1) Look great 2) Are supposed to provide some additional cornering grip on a smooth surface 3) Are supposed to "crash" more on crap road surfaces Personally I find the 18" rims OK on poor surfaces although some journos (EVO) thought it made the car skittish. I think that's tosh myself but there you go. Having said that I have the "regular" chassis (!). My advice before getting 18" or a sport chassis would be to drive a car fitted with it - to make sure YOU are happy with the compromise...

Just that whenever I log on you're here. Morning, Afternoon and Night. Are you addicted? (You wouldn't be alone....). No offence intended.

Without a shadow of a doubt get the sports suspension. The standard setup is way too bouncy mid bend on fast uneven corners. If you drive your cars hard then you wont regret it !!!

Don Bit late now, the cars due to be delivered next month, so no turning back now! Thanks for the reassuring words though, I had a few doubts after reading some posts on the EVO site on the same subject but theyve been put to rest now. Andy
POST 10Original post
Andy, I have the sport pack on my boxster, and was luck enough to try the demonstrator without before buying. You have made the right choice no question, the setup is much more responsive, and gives you more confidence in the car when going sideways through a blind corner on a B road at night. 8-).
POST 11Original post
Hmmmn. I'll have to reconsider the sports chassis on my next one then! That's if I don't lose the Boxster faith and get a 996.
POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Thanks for the replies guys, I just cant wait to get behind the wheel now! Fingers crossed, it'll be next month. Apart from Pistonheads of course, are there any other decent sites out there for UK Boxster owners??
POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
I know I should have asked before I ordered the car(due to be delivered next month!), but can anyone here tell me their experience of the Sports Chassis option on the Boxster 'S'? Is the ride and handling noticably different from the standard suspension? Thanks
