Hi,

I just picked up an '08 Boxster. Looking for suspension parts: coilovers (i.e. PSS-9), strut brace, sway bars... other performance improvement suggestions are welcome.

Used suspension is difficult to find, not to mention you have no way of knowing if its leaking or otherwise defective until you install it, which is time consuming/pricey to do. At least with new there is warranty. I am thinking of getting ST X coilovers for my 2010 Cayman, they are about 1/2 the price of KW, are made by KW and are almost identical to KW V1 except for shorter warranty and galvanized steel vs stainless steel housing. I can't seem to find any reviews of them from Porsche owners though ...

I have a set of JRZ RS2 coilovers that are completely rebuilt. They should fit your boxster. But you would need to accept a stock ride height. See the link below.

Not mine, and no relation to the seller.
