OP, did you do any refreshing on the rear LCAs? You only mention working on the front. You may need to replace the bushings that mount the rear LCAs to the body. These bushings are just like the fronts and when they get old will not let you get to factory specs. They do wear out.

The rears have new struts, drop links, and sway bar bushings, and track arms. May do the rest next year, heard spring sag could contribute also.

everyone that is paying attention to their car did the trailing links in the rear to get rid of the noisy clump over slow bumps. Replacing the lower control arms shouldn't be overlooked.

I refreshed the suspension on several of my cars, complete. I admit I don't know what was worn, but the "after" changed the car. When I was selling them, I had a couple of Boxster experts remark my car handled like it was new.
