Yes sir

They will fit ALL Boxsters (except maybe the new DFI cars) Porsche realized their was a problem and changed the mount design. Externally it is nearly identical. As for bolting to the Boxster engine blocks (all of them) it is identical. Uses the same hardware.. blah blah.. Also: The Cayman's ship with a min. of 300hp. They had to beef up the amount of rubber in the Cayman mount to deal with the extra torque and HP being generated with the 3.4.

Want to know if your engine mount is broken? Have a friend watch your car from behind as you "briskly" drive away. Have them watch the muffler tip. It will dip away from the bumper cutout BIG TIME as the front of the engine raises in the mount and lowers the tip.

My favorite past time? Watching Boxster's pull away from me while sitting on the hot pit wall at XYZ race track counting how many Boxster's have broken engine mounts.. then pointing out to other people the muffler tip drop

(Yes, I'm easily entertained.

Unless you replaced it recently.. your mount is broken also.
