I fitted the PSS9's to my 2001 Boxster S quite a few years ago - probably 50,000 km on them and no problems with leaks, spring sag or fade that I can notice - the ride height is still as I set them up when they were first installed.
The rest of the suspension is stock, although all the shock top bearings, drop links, coffin arms and control arms were replaced with the Bilstein upgrade.
On the softest compression / rebound setting they are +/- 20% stiffer than my original ROW suspension - acceptable but I wouldn't want to go any stiffer for road use. HPDE / track work is a different thing....
