Yea, putting the M030 is one of the first things I plan to do. Thanks for the link to the shocks.
As to the recent changes I mentioned, it's a series of both good and bad (for me) that's pushing the move to Boxster. In good classing news for many Boxster S owners, the 2000-2004 S moved from BS to CS. That puts it in a class against the Suby BRZ/Toyota equivalent whose name I can't recall at the moment, and the new gen Miata. I *think* the BS can take the Suby. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but it's got a chance. Against the Miata, I think it'll be course dependent. The Miata has pretty short 1st and 2nd. So if the course is fast, the BS stands a good chance of taking the Miata just because the gearing is better. On a slower, tighter course, I think the Miata is pretty unbeatable. But, for the first time in a long while, I do think the boxster S is at least classed such that it *could* win.
In other good news for 987 owners, they're dropping from SS to AS. So, that's good. But some pretty good 'vettes (I think stock C7s) are also making the move, so overall it's a wash.
In bad news for 997 owners (me), they're still stuck in SS going up against the 997 GT3 and C7 Z06s. Heck, I had my hands full going up against 987S.
In unfortunate news, the 2.7L base boxster was proposed to be moved to ES. Unfortunately, there seems to have been a rather strong backlash against that and the proposed move was dropped. I wish they would have done that...although I'm biased. Maybe it'll happen in a few years.
