Struts last 100k or so. So, both of you don't really need to replace them any time soon, but you both do need rear upper adjustable toe arms to correct the alignment issues associated with lowering springs or you'll be eating rear tires in 5k miles.

If you plan to keep your car at least another 50-100k, then replace the struts now. If you know you'll tire of the car and trade it in a year or two, then I would not spend the cash. Let the next guy do it.
Great advice. Adding new struts will not increase the resale value much if at all. I'll probably end up trading it in for a new GT3 RS soon (dreaming of course)

Anyone know if Koni makes Boxster struts? I can't find them online but the shop swears they are $105 each! If they do, what's the difference between them and the Bilsteins?
