What a difference a day makes…



The new Boxster Spyder is arguably the most performance focused 987 to date. It boasts retro styling cues and offers considerable weight savings (especially with AC and Stereo Delete) over the standard 987 chassis.

Our customer brought us the car so we could set up it for improved track day performance as well as enhancing the visual appeal of the Spyder (Lowered ride height and more aggressive wheel offset).



One obvious issue with this car is the OE spec ride height and damper/spring combination. The ride height/fender gap is worthy of rally car mud flaps. While the out of the box handling is impressive for a factory offering, it is still a compromise in regard to performance, in this area there is always room for improvement.

Stay tuned for the next Round: RSS Tarmac Series 2-Piece Lower Control Arms...

 

wow that really made a world of difference, the boxster spyder is such a winner nice post!

 

So awesome I'm at a loss for words. Well done guys!

 

Thanks guys... the car is even more enjoyable and fun to drive after the suspension upgrades. Cant wait for the next series of mods, when we go with the RSS Lower Control Arms.

 

Great car, great mod's.

Do you have base line times at the track from before the mods?

 

That is low! Looks good

 

Geez, i've never been a huge Boxster fan, but this Spyder looks absolutely incredible, especially with the more aggressive offsets on the stock wheels and lowered ride height.

 

well done brozef!

 

Agreed, was not a huge fan, but the chassis and coilover suspension combination won me over...

 

Talk to me more about your new LCA's...I'm looking to do a HUGE suspension overhaul this summer for my 2006 Cayman S. I see that you guys have the sway bars for sale as well. Anything else I could get from you guys? I like what RSS has done and plan to use you guys.

Keep up the good work
