Installing a lowering kit not only improves how your ride looks, it can also do wonders for handling and cornering by lowering the center of gravity. Some Porsche Boxster lowering kits also help maintain a proper roll center and roll couple, which will benefit handling even further and reduce sway. Even if your main objective is to make your ride a cruiser without any plans of ever hitting the track, a Porsche Boxster lowering kit will give your pride and joy a look to be envied.

There are usually multiple ways to lower a vehicle, and every manufacturer seems to have its own preferences regarding how it builds its parts. Some Porsche Boxster lowering kits can consist of new coil springs, while others might use control arms or other components such as shackles. Other Porsche Boxster lowering kits might use a combination of components depending on the desired stance, and may or may not include shorter Porsche Boxster shocks depending on the kit.

Q: Is there any difference between the way cars and trucks are lowered? And what all is included with a lowering kit?
A: Most modern cars are lowered differently from trucks because the suspension needed to support them is different. In terms of truck suspension, not every truck is built the same, and so full lowering kits are comprised differently depending on the truck. The key thing to consider is not always the components of the lowering kit, but simply the drop the lowering kit achieves. Additionally, it is important to determine if you want shocks or not with your kit since some full kits come with shocks, and some come without. Shocks don't play any role in the actual lowering of your truck; they simply ensure that once lowered, your truck maintains or improves ride quality.

Q: What is a lowering kit? Why buy a lowering kit?
A: Lowering kits provide everything you need to lower your vehicle. Lowering your truck gives it a distinct, sleek look, and is one of the best ways to modify your truck if you're looking to give it a custom look. Lowering kits are available for a variety of different drop levels, from a subtle 1" drop of the front and rear, to an aggressive 7" drop to slam your truck. Each kit is specially designed and custom tailored to each vehicle. You can expect to not only lower your truck, but to also improve the ride quality of your truck. If you're looking for a no-hassle way to lower your truck without the complication entailed with buying multiple parts, a complete lowering kit is your best bet.

Q: Is it necessary to buy shocks if you buy a lowering kit? Do lowering kits include shocks?
A: Lowering shocks are strongly recommended when lowering a truck because factory shocks are built to be optimal for factory ride height. Using factory shocks for a lowered truck puts does a lot of wear and tear on your shocks, skews your suspension geometry, and worsens ride quality. Please check the descriptions for what is included.
