    I bought similar for £140 Pair...going back 5 years ago for my 997 still going strong...👍

      Nice! I guess I just chose the wrong seller! I don’t want to risk it again so I’ll pay a little premium for a set from somewhere else. After I fix the second gear grind this fall / winter.

    Any trouble removing the head bolts (at least on the side you removed)? Did you use a wrench or impact? 👍

      Surprisingly no trouble removing the head bolts. I used an impact.

    That is so f,ing annoying!
    I just got a new alternator and serpentine belt for my boxster s
    You definitely need to tell them if it's a tiptronic, with or without aircon etc
    It's quite important

    Damn man. That stinks if you get different headers make another video!

      My expectations were low so only a couple hours lost! I’ll be trying out the FVD headers in the future. Probably after I fix the second gear grind this winter.

    Hey, are those, Bilstein B6s or what struts are you running?

    • @LenartoGarage
      @LenartoGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      Yeah, they are the Bilstein B6 shocks with H&R springs. I would highly recommend this setup. Great ride comfort and handling.

      @@LenartoGarage cool, thanks for response! Been wanting a set of B6, but the front struts are out of stock almost everywhere. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and pay a premium.
      Did you get springs just to lower the car or for another reason? I was thinking of keeping stock springs (and ride height) for now
