ive just bought a 1996 boxter 2.5 manual and in need of 3 rear o-side suspension arms, d-shaft and hub. ive found bits of a 2002 3.2 auto but some of the part numbers dont match but some do. can anyone please tell me wether or not this matters.

The 3.2 S models have improved/longer arms which I believe you can retrofit , but you need to swap same on both sides. This is a worthwhile upgrade but I do not know specifics as my only Porsche is a S model. Driveshaft is different for 6-speed ( Bigger Bolts) at trans & S hub has bigger wheel bearing
