i caught some bad weather driving home from new orleans. it was raining pretty hard with a significant crosswind. my car started doing a wicked shimmy that made me slow down to about 60 mph. i'm used to feeling all the dips and groves and other road imperfections. the boxster S has pretty decent suspension, so i expect it to communicate those things. and, I10 in west louisiana and east texas has a pretty crappy road surface. but this was different. it really scared the heck out of me. i'm rolling OEM bridgestone tires with about 7K miles on them and pretty good tread left.

what suspension parts do i tighten, tweak, replace or add to make it stop?

 

60 mph on louisiana I10 in a heavy rain and crosswind sounds reasonable to me.

How fast do you want to go in those conditions?

 

i guess you have a point. it just ticked me off that all those SUVs and pick-ups were blowing by me doing 70 or better.

 

wide tires hydroplane a lot easier...

 

Some snow tires for winter should help max the grip.

 

If I remember the expansion joints on the 10 correctly (lived in NOLA 6ish years ago) that's about as fast as I'd want to go in a Porsche on that road, in those conditions...

Get a Cayenne if you want to go fast
