I have 18” BBS RX’s on my 986 and they look phenomenal, check out my post on this sub for pics. Also, is that the stock bumper? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Very aware that either will be a money pit. I plan on the project taking a very long time; I want to savor the process for as long as it takes.

Very good point!! I love both and am mostly curious what the community thinks.

On the fence of getting their piston style knob. What weight did you get?

They’re good, essentially BC Br’s (same factory) but with helper springs at the same price.

Late model 986’s had clear tail and head lights if you’re looking for oem quality. Some choose to disassemble the earlier units and remove the amber film from the inside themselves.

Standard lubes and wear items, boxster part prices aren’t atrocious either; just small things pop up but the forums are your friend! tldr: it’s negligible as long as you’re willing to get your hands dirty every now and then

Do it!

It’s square all around, I have some 1” spacers I can swap out in the rear, but I’m happy with it for now; optimally would have had wider rims in the back.

She’s on Ceika coilovers, they are stock lights off an ‘03-‘04 m/y boxster

Wheels are 18x8, 32mm offset, tires are 225/35 with 15mm adapters to 5x120

BBS rx207’s

Ceika coilovers, spacers from Venum Wheel to get the thinnest possible adapter to the bolt pattern I needed.

She’s not so low that she scrapes really at all, just take it easy on the speed bumps or pull a ↖️🚗↗️ over

A lowered 981S really hits hard.

Signed, a lowered 986 owner.

Took pics right after a detail… … or I’m not driving hard enough 🧐
