What you describe is not a usual Boxster ride. I've owned two, a base and an S. Both rode very nice for sports cars. The S is stiffer but certainly not "rough". Otherwise you're very sensitive. I, obviously, don't know which would be the case.

To determine which it is, I would take the car to a Porsche dealership or someone EXTREMELY knowledgeable on Boxster suspensions. Let them inspect the components and let you know if the part numbers match for your vehicle. They, as mentioned earlier, may have been replaced by a previous owner. No one can accurately diagnose your ride or components without driving and inspecting your vehicle. Good luck with the ride.
