Does anyone make an adjustable rear camber plate for the Boxster 986?

Also, I need to swap out my Bilstein B8 Sports struts and H&R street performance springs and install a coil-over kit with the end goal of reducing my perch/seats while gaining a slightly more aggressive suspension performance. Reducing the lower perch/spring seats on the rear will allow me to utilize a larger wheel.

I hear that the PSS9's are much stiffer and unbearable for daily driving stiffer spring rate/bounciness. Is this true?

I'm assuming that H&R's sports suspension would be an alternative to the PSS9?

Are the PSS10's available for the Boxster 986?

Ultimately, I would like to extend the rear track/hub outward by a 1" or 1.5" for a wide body project; however thus far, no one I consulted with had a solution for what I am trying to achieve except for 1 cutting out the rear strut towers and fabricating a new rear strut tower in the position of my choice, and then extending the lower control arms to match; or 2 extend the rear axle and lower control arms like race teams do on 911's but I doubt one can achieve the same modifications of that available for the 911's, completely different rear suspension setup and infrastructure.

Does anyone have any ideas for achieving what I'm trying to accomplish on the rear end of our donor car '00 Boxster 986? We don't wish to utilize spacers unless we have to, and even then, we wouldn't want to utilize anything larger than a 12.7mm spacer for functionality and longevity, especially when considering the wheel bearings.

Your input is highly appreciated. Cheers, SS Motorsports

Aftermarket performance struts will be stiffer, not ride like factory. I haven't experienced them all, so I can't offer comparisons.

As far as the tower mod, I have not done that myself. It is common to make adjustments as needed, but most time a camber plate will suffice. There two or three available for your model. Give The Pelican Parts parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can find one for you.


I opened a post in our forums. A Pelican community member may be able to answer your question.
