Boxster s updated springs

[Rae420]

I have a 2003Boxster s which is used for occasional weekend blasts and the odd trackday. I am really pleased with the car but it has recently broken one of its springs. The car has done 47000 miles and is generally in good condition.
Is it worth going for lower or uprated springs whilst retaining the standard dampers? It feels good on the road but a bit boaty on track.
Thanks!

Meant uprated, not updated! Bl@@dy predictive text!!

I would go for the full works and get the M030 kit (I just did) especially if you are using it more and more on track. Mine is a road car but i still swapped even though the 70k standard suspension was in good condition. It's about £510+VAT so not a huge amount more than a set of aftermarket springs anyway. You may find only the tiptronic S kit is available if you have an S. Don't worry about that as it fits fine and gives you a couple of other benefits too.

MO30 kit from Porsche. Superb kit comprising of Shorter springs, stiffer dampers and thicker ARB.

I'd go with KW V1

So for 510, the mo30 kit includes dampers springs and roll bars? Sounds too cheap!!

(Sorry for Hi-Jack OP)

Is there a Cayman version of this suspension? I am in the same boat, car going in Wednesday for replacement front springs. 2006 Cayman S.

IIRC no 987 M030 available.

Cayman R suspension would be my choice if I was in this situation.

Thanks, I'll hmake a call to the local OPC, see what they say.

Just ordered the MO30 kit from design911 for £580 plus Vat. Seems really good value. Being fitted next week so looking forward to the results.

Its £510 + vat from the OPC.

None of you guys tempted by Bilstein pss9/10 or whatever they are and the springs like the yanks use for boxster spec racing?

Personally not for a road car, not when the M030 is this cheap and you don't really need to go any lower so you don't get to use the height adjustment much.
