Product Details

The Rennline Sport+ Coilovers transform your 1998-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) with a track-bred drop and the body control the mid-engine 986 chassis was built to exploit. This height-adjustable coilover system swaps the soft factory struts for monotube dampers and linear-rate springs, sharpening turn-in and flattening your Boxster through the corners.

Engineered for the 986.1 and 986.2 Boxster, the Sport+ coilover kit lets you set the perfect ride height and tune rebound across 32 settings — firm up the 986 for spirited canyon and track driving, then back it off so daily miles stay civil. It's the straightforward way to give an early Boxster modern stance and handling.

Features

  • Monotube dampers for superior heat dissipation, faster rebound, and responsive damping
  • 32 levels of rebound adjustment, easily set with the included billet aluminum knob
  • Linear-rate coil springs for road-sticking grip with reduced body roll
  • Adjustable front damper bodies set ride height independently of spring pre-load
  • Adjustable rear damper bodies keep the shock operating within its correct valving range at any ride height
  • Damper bodies finished in gloss black powder coat
  • Spring seats and locking collars anodized red
  • Threaded adjustment portions clear zinc-coated for corrosion resistance against road salt
