Got ya beat and I guess I should consider it a good deal. Got a quote for $450, includes alignment, to swap in used Eibach lowering springs and Bilstein sport struts. Whats strange is many shops in my area just didnt want to work on a Porsche and some claimed they didnt have the tools for a Porsche. I realize Im providing my own parts, and some shops wont do that (Les Schwab), but Im puzzled why installing a modest lower and sport struts on a Boxster is such a scourge.
