I have been told that to change the shocks on our cars is not hard. I have done them on a 928 and the Porsche mechanic said that if I could do them on a 928 that the Boxster was a lot easier. He also, said you do not even need a spring compresor toool, as the springs are a low profile. Just need a freind to squeze a couple of coils together and inch or so and put the bolt back on.
I have not changed my shocks yet.
Thinking on it and what springs and shocks combo would be good.
Are H&R springs a good match with the stock shocks?
