Hi,
It is pretty straightforward, but one point, the bolt on the front Sway Bar link is also holds the wheel bearing carrier to the strut. You need to insert a punch or drift to replace the bolt when you remove it to prevent having the carrier slide off the strut.
The Rear is just Plug & Play, nothing mysterious here. But, on many cars, the Sway Bar is pre-loaded when the car is on the ground. When you raise the car, you unload it (the struts can move slightly inward) and so it sometimes is difficult to line all the holes up properly, especially on the final connection side. You may need a jack to carefully raise one wheel to get everything lined up again prior to bolting it all together. I don't know if this is true for the Boxster, but be prepared. Good Luck!...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
