H&R Sport Springs on Boxster

[WKNDBOX of AZ]

Has anyone installed a set of H&R Sport Springs (H&R part #29779) on his/her Boxster? If so, do you have to add spacers to your wheels since the springs will lower the height by 1 inch?

Hi,

I'm currently researching this myself. This was also one of my questions. However, I believe (and I am no expert on this) that spacers are not necessary, but instead I think you should consider replacing your shocks with Bilstein Sports to match the shorter springs. I was considering Eibachs plus Bilsteins by the way, but I think that H & Rs are more or less the same. I may be wrong.. :rolleyes:

I have ruled out ROW 030 as the feedback I have had is that it can produce an odd floating feeling during fast transitions, which the stock suspension doesn't..

I recently replaced the stock suspension on my new 2003 Boxster S with H&R springs and Bilstein sport shocks. I have seen no need to add spacers unless you do it for looks.

Do either of you ever experiencing any rubbing (even if its in an unusual circunstance) or is there plenty of clearance still?

no rubbing here

I haven't had any instances of rubbing, I'm running negative camber in front and rear.
