A ROW M030 factory shock and spring kit (Suncoast has a special @ $ 1040 or so) that would do nicely as it would lower the fr-only about 0.75 inch, rr no change ( from m030 or factory sport suspension) At those prices I can't see how anything other than OEM is the way to go. Of course you may not need new everything.
As for tire wear, I found the exact same pattern, including metal!, shortly after buying my Boxster. I bought new tires and the pattern isn't returning-mercy sakes alive, I didn't even change a part!! The first set of tires were Pirelle Zero Nero's and now I've got Michelin Super Sports that are almost toast (on RR ).
How many miles? Base or S? Pelican has some good suspension details on their technical series of ' how-to's'
