Boxster S handling/suspension probs

[a6khu]

Hello PH ppl,I'm new to this forum. I've just purchased a 2001 Boxster S last week and would like some advice on the suspension/handling on the car. The other day,entering a piece of road that I do in everyday commuting,I totally lost the back end of the car and was only doing about 40-50mph. I have to admit the road wasn't exactly straight and I was exiting from a roundabout. But I would have thought that the grip that everybody praises the boxster to have would have had something to bail me out. Do the standard tyres(205/50/17 front;255/40/17 rear) not have enough grip in this instance in the wet? Or have I asked too much this time around,because I usually deal with this road at the same speed in my dad's 525. Saying that the S does have a lot more horses. I would really appreciate some advice from you people as whether to have the suspension geometry sorted or look at different tyres(running on conti sport contacts currently) because as you can imagine,a non-pasm mid-engine porsche sliding around is quite hard to catch!

Don't think its the tyre pressure,might be on the power too much too early.As I said,just got the car last week,so still need to get used to it,and the roads have been pretty slippery these days! Probably used to DTC bailing me out in my previous BM. I phoned up Brian Miller the other day, he mentioned he doesn't do suspension geometry,and advised me to go to a company called CLMC. Are you referring to them? Could do with some phone numbers and contacts as not many Porsche Specialists in this area! thanks.

It'll be the roads, not the car. I ran a Boxster for two years and as long as the tyres are in good fettle, there's enough grip and poise in the chassis to get the blood running to the side of your head
