Excellent write up! After driving it more you might get the mod bug, might be candidate fir the ROW M030 suspension. Will stiffen the car up and lower it a bit.

ShortRound,
You can do a couple of easy mods on the Boxster that will enhance the handling, or at least it feels so on my car.
I installed a TechnoBrace and put 15mm spacers all around. I can’t tilt the world off its rotational axis with enhanced cornering prowess, but it does feel more planted and grippier afterwards.

Here we go down the rabbit hole

Thanks for bringing up the spacers. I hadn't thought of that but, it does push the wheels out a bit and fills out the wheel wells nicely. Any particular brand of spacer that Boxster people usually use?
I will have to take a look at the TechnoBrace. I haven't heard of it, or any other Boxster mods to be honest. I was more concerned about maintenance and reliability first and foremost.

It already has the Mantis Racing Rear Stress Bar, one of million things I forgot to mention!

. Nice clean looking car. Once you start modding this one similar to the e30, you have a different opinion I'm sure.

Shortround: Did you check if your strut/shocks are still in working condition or is your alignment still good? If struts is bad or alignment, it can make your steering wheel a little harder.
