Car is headed for a PPI. We'll see what they think. Besides IMS check can they tell how much suspension work is needed? Anything else to look out for?

I checked on the B4's. They are about $205 each from several parts distributors. That seems like a pretty good deal. Install was quoted at 8.5 hrs by independent servicer. Or was it 11.5 hrs?

When you say "everything" what are you speaking of? Struts, springs, control arms, bushings, etc? Pelican Parts shows a base suspension kit at $3,300 and that didn't include the struts.

I'm looking at a 99 Boxster. The car has 100,000 miles on it. My test drive revealed what felt like a need for new shocks and maybe bushings(?) as there seemed to be some looseness when hitting...

Which solution outside of Jake's Shop is this? Why would you want to replace a dual row. I thought that was the best design. It's not?

Sorry,

I'm old and I didn't remember having posted this question. Thanks for taking the time to update me on this. Looks like my risks are pretty low as this car has so few miles.
