Boxster PASM Springs?

Just thought I'd take a shot. I'm looking for a set of PASM springs-only for an 05-08 Boxster for an experiment. Let me know if you have a set. Thanks!

I don't have a set, sorry.. but you can also try planet-9 to see. I had posted a wanted ad in my sig for PASM springs for a couple month without luck. I ended up finding a good deal on eibachs. For experiment, I assume you don't want to buy a new set - from Suncoast for 2-300 bux. Good luck with your search.

The experiment was to match them up with the stock non-pasm shocks for slight lowering and slightly stiffer spring rate. Figured it was worth a try and didn't want to go full-boat and buy a new set.

Yup, that's exactly what I was going to do as I didn't want the car to be too low.
With the eibachs, I'll run them with OE shocks and about 10mm of OE compensation plates F/R to ensure the car won't be slammed - even if the springs settle over time. I figured this setup will give me about another 1/4" lower than PASM. It'll be interesting to see how the shocks wear over time.

That stinks, we just pitched a few Cayman and 997 sets. If I find more, I'll let you know.

SIGH, and I've been a customer of Suncoast for years and let a couple of guys there know I was looking a while back. But people forget. I just didn't want to buy a new set to try this because I have a feeling that 10mm drop and ever so slightly stiffer spring rate really isn't going to "change" the Boxster and that I'd end up with something else after the experiment. But, figured with people tossing PASM springs it was worth trying... Let me know if you get another set. Thanks!
