What size of wheels are you running?
A set of original 16 inch Boxster wheels can usually be found for dirt cheap.
Put on a brand of tires known for a smooth ride.
That extra 1/2 inch or 1 inch of sidewall (depending on whether you have 17s or 18s now) will be the cheapest comfort you can find.

This was my first thought, and is a wise suggestion, but I really like the look of the 18s And I like the low slip angle and communication of a thinner sidewall. I think the best way to do what I want is to buy softer shocks. I know it is more expensive, but will most assuredly get me the result I'm wanting. Even if I were on a track, I don't need to feel every piece of dental floss I run over. I think my 986 is way over shocked.
