If you end buying the B8's you have to use lowering springs, otherwise you should use the B6's (standard height).

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.

POST 1Original post

Hi, im looking at refreshing my 2005 Boxster suspension as its at 95k miles on original shocks. I found a really good deal on bilstein B8 shocks near me, what springs could I pair those with so the street ride can still be comfortable and I don't need to get any other suspension parts due to the lower ride height. or should I just go with B6's?

POST 2Original post

R springs are great. Don’t fool yourself you need a whole bunch of new suspension parts anyways that mileage and age.

POST 3Original post

im currently in the process of replacing the entire front suspension already and I already have all the stock parts so was just hoping to avoid buying even more. the R's look great, any idea if H&R sports are any good?

POST 4Original post

also how much lower will the car sit with the R springs and b8 shocks? im just a little worried about bottoming out while driving around as its just a street car 99% of the time

POST 5Original post

I have some experience with H& R springs and they are great! If you end buying the B8's you have to use lowering springs, otherwise you should use the B6's (standard height). Sorry but completely agree with Rick, that with that mileage you should replacve as well the 'coffin arms' and the long caster arms.. Afterwards, you will not believe the difference in the handling department (even) if you go with the stock height springs and the B6 struts! Not sure if H&R have standard heiht springs to go with the Bilstein B6 's

POST 6Original post

I don't think that you will have many options on the H&R springs, most likelly, one choice for lower stance (+/-) 1.3" these springs are not too pricey and you may be able to match them with a set of H&R sway bars, you will like the handling and compliance at the same time.. H&R products are TUV (Germany) approved and their quality are great for the price, IMHO, you cannot go wrong with them.

POST 7Original post

Just pulled the trigger on them, can’t wait to get them in

POST 8Original post

anyone got any recommendations for spacers once I have the new springs shocks etc in?

POST 9Original post

I'm running R springs on Koni Orange shocks. Love the ride, but every driveway is a negotiation.
