I can confirm the eccentric bolts are a nightmare and were welding in, heat did not get them out I had to cut them out

Be careful just twisting them that you don't damage the subframe and crack the casing where the eccentric bolts sit on......😟

best price at present for the coffin arms is design 911

Thanks for the offer

I started stripping the rears on Saturday same problem with the pinch bolts welded in and also having problems with the camber caster bolts as they appear to be stuck in the bushes trying not to damage the coffin arm bushes

Only what to expect on a 17 year old car with the original suspension and nuts and bolts plus steel and aluminium....not a great match

I am off to Dubai with work so once I get back I may get intouch for the loan of the induction heater

Sachs top mounts were order with new sway bar bushes and new drop links..... the list is growing, But it should be good at the end and it will all go back together a lot easier....I hope

Front drop links and the drop link pinch bolts were sized in, cut the drop link so I could get a socket on then it was a slow plod to get it out still

Top mounts and dome washers were all sized as well

Still in progress looking at the rears this weekend

Shopping list is growing

Thanks Guys for the update

I will keep you posted on the progress

Big list

Brake disk and pads all round

bleed brakes and new brake fluid

Shocks Springs and bump stops and dust covers all round see how the top mounts are when I take them apart

😀😉

Koni's arrived this morning

Just another quick question once you had fitted yours did you go anywhere special to get the suspension set up once they were fitted

Do you recommend anyone locally

Andrew

Decision made I have ordered the Koni Special Active 😀

So a Good winter project to come

Thanks for all your advice 1/2cwt

Andrew

1/2cwt This has been such a great help sorry I had got mixed up with the sport. I think the special active is more what I am looking for and to be honest I am not looking to lower the car too much either.

Can I ask just one more question Std Springs do you have any suggestions and what are the lengths of the std springs

But is I did lower again any suggestions on springs

Andrew

I was also looking at the Koni Sport kit 11407791

I dont think the special Active comes as a kit?

Guys

this is great help thanks very much for the advice, I think this is going to be a winter project and you have set me down the Koni Ruote

I will need to change Top mounts and Bump stops as well and I will look at the anti Roll bar bushes next time I am under the car

One question on the Rear as far as I can see these need to be pre set and once they are fitted then you can adjust them is that correct and if so any suggetion on what to set them too?

Thanks for the Feedback I will check out the Koni option

They look a good option

Anti Roll bars and bushes again is another part of the project

good road handling sporty fast around corners but still a reasonable good comfy ride

Not really looking to put this one on the track

I am considering a suspension upgrade on my 986 Boxster 2.7 Tiptronic

Considering a Bilstein upgrade or a set of coil overs

Does any one have any experience with the BC Coilovers
