Took it on the expressway to 85 mph and it definitely feels better, although those tractor trailers that I'm passing still look might large within a few feet of a Boxster!!!!

I also had the front motor mount replaced and I'm thrilled with that. At 10 yrs and 46,000 miles I wasn't sure it was shot, but replaced it anyway.......incredible difference.........clutch now engages smoothly form a stop, car really shifts nicer, no more 3000 rpm shutter. That was really money well spent. The original mount dis have major rubber cracks but didn't look as bad as some shown on this forum. I used the Porsche 987 mount rather than aftermarket models. If you have a 986 with more than 50K miles, just do it!!!!!!

Thanks for all the input above........Bob
Bob, glad to hear that it all worked out for you and that the suspension refresh was able to transform your car! Sounds like you're enjoying the "new" ride... Enjoy in good health.
