I would have no issue at all with a 100,000+ mile Porsche.
I’ve seen lots of 200,000+mile Porsches, quite a few 300,000+ mile Porsches, but I have never seen a 100,000+ mile Ferrari.
A set of shocks will usually cost over $900, but the Pelican has Konis on sale.
Since you have to take the struts apart to reuse the springs you would do well to replace the strut mounts, steering bearings, dust boots, bump stops etc so it will add a few hundred bucks, even without replacing the roll bar down links, , the various suspension arms, wheel bearings, brake discs and pads, etc. Lots of creeping incrementalism to this project!

The most cost-effective thing you can do for your Boxster, after joining this forum, would be to join the Porsche Club of America; visit pca dot org. The club newsletter, Porsche Panorama, is the best-edited, best- produced publication in motor sports. The next thing to do, after joining the PCA, would be to subscribe to Excellence; it rivals Pano in production values. Yes, I belong to PCA; no, I don’t get any kickbacks...
...but I should.
