good move.
I had allot of problems with going just the lowering springs route on previous cars.
Too many factors at play, wheel weight, spring rates, shock adjustability.
Initially I was going to go with a set TEIN HA's but backed to save money and went with shock and spring package. Disaster. Had to chuck the package and eat the installation costs.
If you have to maintain, always upgrade if you can is my motto.
Unfortunately for me the PSS9 will bump me up into the GT3, GT2, 997S categories for Autocross where I wouldn't stand a chance of finishing within 3 seconds of those monsters. But I have ZERO complaints about my suspension on my 2000S. Its perfect. I'm keeping with my orginal plan of keeping all performance parts stock and replacing with stock.

Hey~ was the handling that bad with the shock/spring combo?
Tein makes good quality stuff, didn't know they made one for our cars.

Just by changing to coilovers will bump you up a class??? wow, they must classified boxster as a superb handling car, too bad is abit under powered...

Anyhow, thanks for the reassurance, the coils are schedule to arrive tomorrow, I have made a Saturaday installation in the morning, I will post some pics after installed!!

Good choice. Pss9's are the best. That is what I plan to do.

Finally got a chance to snap some quick pics, sorry for the bad pics, I will snap a few more over the weekend.

The ride is sensational, alittle disappointed with the back adjustment, could use another half inch. But the front is tucked inside the fender.
