here's my preferred setup for a street boxster:

Front Sway: M030 'S'
Rear Sway: M030 'Base'
Springs: M030
Struts: Bilstein Sport or M030

the reason for the base rear sway is that it's thicker than the S and takes out some understeer. a primary reason i love the M030 springs is that while Eibach and H&R lower the car evenly, the M030 lower the car more up front. again, this takes out understeer.

the bilstein sport (and HD; they're damped the same) are supposedly a bit more stiff than the M030, but i can't tell the difference. either is great.

the eibach sways are almost identical to the M030 listed above, but twice the price. the H&R sways are WAY too stiff for the street and will be underdamped by M030 or Bilstein struts; your car will porpoise.

Essentially, if you buy the full M030 kit and have them swap the front bar to the S M030, you will have a full package that works very, very well together.
