I had the same problem but at about 75mph. I had 4-wheel alignment, didn't help. Although my rear struts need to be changed I put on some new rear tires and it solved the problem. Hope that helps.

are you sure it's a sway as a result of the car itself and not just following the "ruts" that are dug into the roads by most other traffic that is slightly wider than the boxster?

i notice on some older roads that have not been repaved in quite some time i can ride in one "rut" or the other, but not both and this causes the car to feel like it's kind of going from side to side in the lane...
