That is absolutely not true!

Every strut, for USA and RoW, for base Boxster and S, all have different part numbers and different damping rates. They have to; the spring rates are all different, and you KNOW that Porsche would not use the same dampers on different spring rates.

You can also verify this with Bilstein, who manufactures the stock struts for the Boxster. Their "HD" series have increased damping over stock Boxster S dampers, and are equivalent to the USA M030 dampers. The "Sport" series has a shorter length for lower ride heights but the same damping as the HD series.
