With coilovers, if you want them properly set up your mechanic will corner balance at a certain height... if you ever raise or lower them, then you will need to corner balance again. After the car is at a proper height and corner balanced, then it should be aligned. With adjustable coilovers, like the PSS9's, you simply dial in your adjustments to the dampening (or rebound with others like JIC) with a dial located usually at the bottom of the strut. A corner balance is crucial for properly setting up coilovers... suspension work for the boxster should be three levels when concerning struts... springs (if you want cheap way to lower it for looks), 2000-3000 coilovers like JIC cross or PSS9's, or club-sport level remote mount reservoir moton's 5000-6000 range... every level needs an alignment. The PSS9's are in no means a compromise of cheapness and handling. The Boxster Spec guys run stiffer eibach springs with them and they are totally capable... I run PSS9's and I couldn't be any more happy than I am.
