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.

No it didn't,the RoW kit can with the shocks,springs,sway bars and bushings. I've looked at my boots and they aren't torn or leaking anything and don't cause any issues so I'm not touching them.

I just took the Boxster out for a spin w/ the mechanic that worked on it;
http://mobileworkseast.com/
Man this new set up is AWESOME! There is minimal trace of understeer and it honestly feels one step down from a go-kart. The ride quality isn't too harsh,but it is stiffer then the USA 030 stuff it came with. The cars ride height dropped just short of an inch in the front and the rear is the same as before and it better have a bunch of settling to do because I don't like how the car looks now,it's too slanted. Now to get an alignment done.

I will post another long-term review after the suspension settles and I get an alignment.
