thanks. I'm actually driving it less aggressive now as compared to 1 year ago. I only feel this sensation during hard cornering.
A thought is that with new tires only on the back, the car maybe riding on the inside edge of the (new) tires due to negative camber and making the rear end more twitchy??..
i think its about time to replace shocks and the rubber pieces on the sway bar.
I enjoy driving my Boxster (non-s 5 speed) for commuting and weekend drive on mountain roads, (slightly faster than most, but nowhere near those that go to track), what's the expected life of shock absorbers?
