Product Information
H&R Sport Springs are a progressive-rate lowering spring kit for the mid-engine Boxster and Cayman. On the 718 models the drop is approx. 1.2 in front and rear on cars with PASM and approx. 1.8 in on cars without it; on the 981 Boxster it is approx. 1.0 in and on the 981 Cayman approx. 1.2 in front and 1.3 in rear. Lowering the car closes up the gap between tire and fender, lowers the center of gravity and reduces body roll while the progressive rate keeps ride comfort. Each spring is made from (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel, shot-peened to extend its service life, and 100% tested before it leaves the ISO 9001 certified H&R plant in Germany.
