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.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

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.

Suspected cause
This photo is about 1.5 years old, but was right after I did the suspension but before all the body additions...When I have a new photo with the new tires on it I will post another but fear that is probably a couple weeks off at best....

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just received my first upgrade for my S. I got some smoked/clear side marker lights for the car. They seem to match the clear lenses on the front and back of the car much better now. I don't know why porsche would do away with the amber lenses on the front and back, but not the side. Oh well. at least its done now. I was looking at techart lowering springs as the next mod. I know I will have to be careful where I drive, but thats a given. Would lowering it one inch make to to low for street use? Has anyone else lowered their boxster? I would like any input one can give.

POST 2Original post

I personally think it's plenty low stock. But then again I live in NYC where you can "bottom out" an SUV on our wonderful roads!

POST 3Original post

I put H&R spings with adjustable Bilstein shocks and lowered mine about 2.5 inches and dont have too much trouble, but you do need to take some driveways at an angle to prevent the front end from scraping.

POST 4Original post

jfmillr..please post pic. you rollin' on 17s or 18s?\\ thx

POST 5Original post

I am rollin on 18's. Mind you that this photo is a REALLY old photo, but the best I have until the car comes off the lift from its current modifications. This photo is about 1.5 years old, but was right after I did the suspension but before all the body additions...When I have a new photo with the new tires on it I will post another but fear that is probably a couple weeks off at best....

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Nice looking boxster you have there Jfmiller. Did those 18" twists come as a factory option? or did you add them on later?

POST 7Original post

thx, yeah I have done a ton of body stuff since this pic. Once completely finished I will post some pics. Wheels were a factory option came with car. Heres another pic of the front bumper minus new Litronics, since its a little older pic....

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The gt2 front end looks cool. I bet that garners some confused looks from porschephiles on the road. It would have me do a double take.

POST 9Original post

yeah it has gotten some double takes, after my body kit is done pretty much noone is gonna have aany idea what it is, except that they would probably guess it is a Porsche...
