I am looking to order a complete kit of suspension parts to rehab all four on a 98 Boxster. Track arms, springs, struts, mounts - all need to be replaced.

In addition, I would like to be able to carry more (battery) weight as the next step is to replace the (very) tired gas engine with a high voltage DC motor. Objective is to out-perform a Tesla in as many metrics as possible; speed, accelration, range, cost.

So, job one at this stage of the re-hab is the suspension. Any ideas on an approach that won't break the bank? Any good kits out there that include all the necessary parts?
