What you are describing - the bouncing test - may have worked on a softly sprung US car out of the 1960's but on the Boxster you are pushing down on some seriously strong springs. No way will you be able to get the car to bounce once or twice before it comes to a stop.
Most wear in a high mileage shock or strut is internal, and I bet if you were to swap out your 144k shocks for even 50k old ones you would feeling immediate difference in car response and roadholding.
