Which Suspension?
I am shopping around for rear struts, the right rear does not appear to have too much fluid left in it judging by the noise coming from it.
I'd like to replace the struts with at least OEM parts, although I've been tempted by the PSS 9 kit that is sold by Bilstein. The car has 80,000 mi. on it and was track driven by the previous owner. Suggestions anyone? 1997 Boxter - 2.5l H6 Red w/black soft top |

For a well sorted, Porsche tuned, sport suspension for street and track- ROW M030 roughly $1800 installed/aligned A fully adjustable coil over setup for competition- PSS9s/Tarret sways roughly $4200 installed, aligned, corner balanced. |

I'm thinking if the ride is a priority, stock might be best. Not everyone needs a harder suspension.

You are making me think here

Load factor is 2 pax + 2 small carry ons Time spent on dialing suspension - haven't given this any thought at all. What exactly is involved, just jacking up the car and dialing in the 4 struts or is there more to it than this? |

Here's the instructions for changing the struts. http://gwl.rmsolo.org/hacks/suspension/index.html |
at 80k miles, it would be a good idea to replace all four, not just the rears.
PSS9 system is nice. Once set, you really don't have to ever touch it unless you want to stiffen it up for your track day. Also has fully adjustable ride height so you can lower or raise the car as you please. Or just go with OEM Bilstein replacements shocks. Add the m030 springs if you want to lower the height a tad and be a little stiffer. |
At 80K miles, I'd replace all four. Since you only plan to track occasionally, the PSS9's are overkill; the stock Bilstein replacements will be comfortable on the street and fine for track days.
