struts shipped uncompressed??

blinkwatt,

did they arrive as pictured? I'm kinda surprised they didn't ship them compressed and tethered down, or in their own seperate box so the piston shafts wouldn't get damaged/scuffed. That's the way I've always recieved new shocks/struts.

how many miles are on your dampers now? Those coils would look nice in red.
I previously had a red front sway which look kind nifty in pictures.

Yes the parts arrived in the crappy packaging as shown,straight from Porsche!

I have 55k on my dampers now,to some that may sound like alot but by no means does the suspension feel worn down. This will be like hitting the 'refresh' button on my suspension and then some I guess. I can't wait to see how good the handling will be,my base Boxster already outhandles my dad's c2 easily. I can't wait to have the parts installed!

did those kit come with new boots? I'm betting some of your old ones must be torn at this point...those stupid things are expensive.
