Either way you sound like you would be spending almost as much for camber plates and lowering springs as you would for a set of coilovers. If you are going to track or autocross I would highly suggest you spend the few extra $$ and get the coilovers. The ride is a bit stiffer but worth it. Two of the nicest thing about the coilovers I have found is that you can adjust the stiffness in a few seconds and the ride height in about a half hour.
Um.. technically, all Boxsters HAVE coilovers. What you really mean to say is "adjustable" coil overs.

Camber plates are about $300-500. Springs are nother $300-500. All this plus install. A "quality" set of "coilovers" or a set up like Bilsteins PSS9s are about $2000 plus install. JIC, Cross and other set-ups can run closer to $6K in parts, plus install labor (about $1000 seemingly anywhere as its quite a bit of work to change out the rears). How fast do you want to go? How much you want to spend.
