997 v 996 ride hight (also new/old boxster)

[pm99]

I popped into a porsche showroom the other day.

Comparing the new and old boxster and 997/996.....one thing that struck me was how much higher the ride height was on the new models.
Made the cars look alot less sleek and sporty in my opinion.

It wasn't just the one car maybe having sports suspension etc....they were all like that.
And the height differences were very notciable...very strange.

Anyone have any reasons/opinions on this?

Get a 997 with -20mm, not only does it look heaps better it gains an LSD and rides better than a PASM in sport mode. Oh and it laps the tracks faster to as if you needed one more incentive.
