Yesterday I picked up a set of M030 springs for the Boxster S. Today the 987 Bilstein B6 rear struts arrived and I put the parts together this evening. The combination fits well, so I have no worries to fix this to the car.
The disassembly of the old parts did show me that the strut mount is worn out (it has cracks in the rubber which I can open up with a screwdriver through the center), so they'll have to be replaced as well.
The good thing is that it completes the rear suspension rebuild, all fresh parts on there once everything is put together. I'll post some pictures. For now I still need to check the brake lines as the 987 knuckles have a different mounting position for the short piece of hard brake line at the caliper. I don't really understand why the brake hose doesn't go directly to the caliper, but oh well.
