I bought my Boxster from these guys. Reasonable Porsche certified mechanics. In Bellingham, too. Just south of the Canadian border.

Thanks guys, I was basically just trying to find someone to do the springs as a priority. The oil I will take care of myself as it really is a rip off anywhere else. I guess I should mention that I was also qouting in Canadian dollars.

I'm just chocked as I have been accustomed to buying and installing springs on Japanese imports for about $400 all in!

In case I do not install my Eibach Pro Kit, would I be able to give sell these to a friend that has a 986? I have a 97 and I think these were off a 2000 S.

Thanks

If you installed springs on Japanese vehicles, you can easily install these onto the boxster. To be in all honesty, it wasn't that difficult for me to install my Eibach Pro-Kit springs and Bilstein Sport struts. The difficult part in the rear was the removal and installation of the axle bolts and the squeezing of the strut/spring assembly out and in to match with the strut hat bolts and to the lower control arm bolt. Most of it is associated with design and limited space to work.

Mind you this was all done on jackstands on my driveway. Of course with power tools.
