Hi,

Agreed, the Boxster is one of the more Rigid Convertibles, but there is still room for improvement. Adding Front/Rear Strut Tower Braces makes a big improvement. This is evidenced in the improved handling as well as an elimination/reduction for annoying rattles and squeaks...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
