I think I’m going to be getting the HR sport springs for my 2000 Boxster which lowers it an 1”.I just don’t know the correct part #.Every site I go to seems to have a different #.Does anyone know the correct #So far Amazons price seems to be on the lower end.This is the # they have-29779.
As usual thanks in advance!

I would suggest the H&R website as a good starting point for part numbers.

please post some before and after pics please. Still need to figure out what suspension changes to do on my 03 S. Interested in somewhat maintaining the ride quality, but lowering the stance. Age of existing dampers, not necessarily mileage on them(44k) kinda leads me to look at new there too.

If you can afford it I'd highly recommend going to PSS9's.

I put the H&R's on my 99 endurance racer with Bilstein HD's, to me the spring rate is not enough for the track (car still sways). I will be cutting the springs a few inches to try to increase rates a little bit.

I'm sure on the street and backroads they are fine, but I am not happy with their track performance and would advise spending the extra to go coilovers.

I got the right part #.....hurray.Might be a couple months before I get them,butt I’ll definitely do before/after shots.Im also widening the stance by 2”. Thanks for the heads up RennPart.I plan on driving on he street 95% maybe an o Cassius all track day.From what I’ve been reading,the H&R Sport springs retain the same ride quality.

They are high quality springs. The part number I have is H&R 29779.

The reason I have to run the factory "style" strut and spring is the race series we participate in do not allow us to run a coil over.

Yes,that’s part # I found as well.Curious how they are going to work out with the spacers I put in.Rear looks like it’s going to clear,fronts a little questionable.😂
