Hey guys, in my seemingly never-ending list of projects for my little sportscar utility vehicle it's time to look at the shocks. Mine are old and floaty and just feel really sloppy whenever I hit any kind of deformity in the road.
I spoke with my local Porsche mechanic and he recommended Bilstein B4 shocks, but I've done some reading on the Bilstein website and I think the B6 shocks might be better for me. The reason I feel this way is because I like pushing the envelope of what my car was designed for and, as my avatar picture suggests, I sometimes haul things like kayaks, mountain bikes, and other heavy objects with my Boxster. According to the website, the B6 shocks are ideal in situations where the suspension is under additional load like e-bikes, caravans, etc.

The majority of the actual driving I do with the Boxster is weekend fun in the mountains and hopefully some autocross events this year. That being said, I also hope to use it as a road trip car because I live in Colorado and every road trip goes through the Rockies and it would be a shame to let those roads go to waste in a boring hatchback.
So yeah, any thoughts or insights into what kind of suspension setup I should go with? Any other options I didn't mention that I should consider?
