If you plan to go 2" lower, like you mentioned, you'll most likely be needing a set of rear adjustable toe arms in order to get your alignment for toe back to proper spec. PM me, I have a new set...

+1 for front and rear sway bars. As long as you're pushing it, why not go all the way?
+1 for the adjustable toe arms. 2" is a big drop for the Boxster. You have to remember that the Boxster is fairly low in stock form already. With that much drop you'll probably need the toe arms just to get a reasonable alignment in the rear.
One other thing to remember with that 10.5" rim in the back... you may be limited as to how low you can go with those rims. My coilovers have an adjustable collar at the bottom and too low the tires will rub the springs. Raised up a little and the collars will rub the rim. Raised up even more and I've got the collars riding in a little groove just above the lip of the rim.... perfect. But I'm most definitely limited as to where I can set the ride height with 275 mm tires in the rear. A 2" drop in the rear would be impossible with my rims and coilovers.
PS - I've got a lower stress bar if you want one of those.
