I used PSS9 spring rates for my build since the car is driven fairly regularly but also sees some track and auto-x time.

Suggestion
Maytag, you would not believe how much does the coil overs improves the feel of the chassis and with the ability to adjust separately, the compression and rebound as well, and combined with adjustable sway bars your car would be in a completely different level :-)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Has anyone installed this Godspeed MMX3830 MonoMAXX Coilovers Suspension Kit For Porsche Boxster 986 96-04.
I'm looking to lower the car a bit to get rid of the big gap in the wheel wells.
Thanks
Bill.
Went though this about 6 months ago, lots of reviews floating around on them. I’ve ridden in and driven an auto-x specific boxster with godspeed coils and they felt fine. I personally went with Ceika because they were easy to build with custom spring rates and valving. I used PSS9 spring rates for my build since the car is driven fairly regularly but also sees some track and auto-x time.
What is your primary goal? Is your goal just to lower the car or is it to get maximum performance?
Shawn
Thanks for the information. I drive the car regularly during the warmer months. I also do 2-3 track/HPDE days a year. So I would like to up the performance and still keep it civilized enough for my wife to ride in.
Hello Van,
Out of curiosity, could you please share a couple of pictures of your car with the H&R springs?
I would love to see how much do they drop the car. Thank you!
.
These look CHEAP?!!? (as in- Inexpensive). I'd love to hear if anyone has used them.
I've been saving pennies for the Ohlins R&T series. I'm not sure why I'd buy Bilstein for $2400 when I can get Ohlins for $2700. But $600 for the Godspeed? huh... that makes a guy stop-n-think....
If you have the correct size tires, it doesn't matter if it is 17" or 18" wheels. The overall diameter should be basically the same, so the car height should be the same
255/40-17 vs 265/35-18 for instance
I have thought the same thing.
Wiser and more knowledgeable track rats than me have felt the cheaper setups are just that, cheap and don't perform well.
I have no personal experience, so I can't specifically comment.
I track my Boxster often and have the ROW M030 setup with camber plates in the front and that setup works well. I get 2.5 camber on the front which made a huge difference. I have had better drivers than me drive my car and they loved the setup.
Yeah, this is the same conclusion I came to about the cheap coilovers.... but wouldn't it be nice if I were wrong? haha.
I've got some LCA's that arrived, which I'll be installing shortly, with the intent of dialing-in some camber, for the same reason you've described. I'm afraid the coilivers will have to be NEXT winter. ::sigh:: ( In my mind, I'm both Richer and Younger. )
