Well, the story goes something like this. This friend of mine with the initials S.G. sent me a picture one day of a 987 and some strut/spring assemblies laying on the ground. I thought, hmm...what's so special about about this 987 and why am I getting pictures of its old suspension. Then another picture followed with PSS9s going on the car. I figured it was just my "friend" rubbing it in that a boxster was getting a new suspension and reminding me that I am still on my stock dakar rally suspension. What are friends for, right? I then learned from this S.G. character that the springs that came off the 987 where in fact Techart lowering springs and that the owner might not want them. A week later and I was the proud new owner of some 987 lowering springs. The experiment began. Would they fit on Cupcake (a 986)??? I had conflicting information. Long story short, after a lot of work taking my suspension off and putting it back on again I got everything to work and achieved the proper ride height. It was a tedious job getting everything right. Now I have a bit stiffer spring but more importantly, a lower CG and the ability to align the car the way it should be. In the spirit of this "free" modification I couldn't bring myself to spring (hahahaha) for new shocks so I'll continue to drive on my 100k mile completely useless ones. Who needs damping? I'm now in CC4 with 20 points left to play with. I'm still not sure if this random act of kindness from my friend was him being nice or really just a selfish ploy to take my once optimized car and bump it up so it is in the middle of the next class. Either way, I have to give a big thank you to Steve G. for thinking of me and even more so for his technical guidance through the process. He saved me countless hours of fiddling. Of all the wrenches I've come across in my life, he is for sure the best I've dealt with. So, if you all see me holding an umbrella for him, changing his tires, etc....I'm just a man repaying his debts.
