Finally finished up the coilover install tonight and I am so happy. Took her for a short shake down run that included some speed bumps to test it out and she felt great... completely changed from the mushy stock suspension. There were no random squeaks or rattles.

Thank you to all that helped and gave advice. Special thanks to AZ996TT who helped me with the last corner and 32krazy! who gave me some advice over the phone.

Going to do a little more shakedown this week and then get an alignment.

 

awesome!!

 

32krazy seems to have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to these cars. Great to have him on the boards.

 

Sweet! I'm hoping to coilover mine soon too.

 

Don't drive too far before you get an alignment, your tires will thank you for it. Last time I swapped out the suspension on my Boxster, I had 1" of total toe-out up front!
The car was a little "darty" to say the least!

 

aww shucks I'm blushing! truth be told i just learn from everyone else on here

 

Great to hear you are back on the road. Glad to help.

 

Any more pics showing the new ride height? I have read that the amount of lowering when following the Bilstein specs maxes out at around an inch or so?? Curious to see what your final height looks like.

 

moar pics man! before and after

 

After pics coming soon

Before (4x4)

 

First after pics

 

Very high maybe bring it down a bit

 

In the after pics? The car now scrapes on certain inclines/declines. I think if I lowered it anymore then it would be a pain on general roads.

 

Fair enough, if u wana go down a bit fit a C4S front lip to get the extra clearance.

 

Hey Tim,

How much did you lower your car from stock height. I'm thinking about 10mm front and 5 rear.
I cant really go any lower as I'm already scraping with 4S spoiler.
