Default 2000 Boxster S --Does this look pretty low to you?

Bought this car 3 yrs ago and just ordered a ROW M030 supsension but I can't imagine it lowering the car any more over this. I could have the US M030 in it now (don't know) but those springs aren't any lower than the regular springs, right?



After ROW install...

That looks close to normal. Maybe a touch low for stock

I have the US M030 and I think it could be lowered another inch but then I would have to worry about driveways and humps. The rear is slightly higher than the front.

It looks lower than the base suspension, to me...not too low, though.

What size tires? They look to be undersized, maybe a standard section width with a lower aspect ratio? ...maybe it is just the photo

Also, I can't get any info on the actual spring rate differences between the RoW and US M030. It appears the RoW springs are a little (like maybe 6-7mm) shorter, but I can't find anything that gives actual rates.

^^ its the stock 18" size, 225/40 and 265/35. I'm surprised the thing fits thru a car wash. Flame suit on..
