I need new shocks...help!
I have 92k miles on my Boxster, the tire shop said it was time for new shocks. What shocks should I purchase? I was going to purchase the m030 kit but it jumped in price.
Thank u in advance!

Still the best bang for the buck by far is the ROW M030. A fresh Porsche sport-tuned suspension will transform your car.

Basically it's what you can afford. Base model, stick with what it came with.

I have 118k on my 2000 S. I don't know if the PO did shocks either, but the ride is firm, and it handles like a dream. It gets regular AX time as well. I have wondered if I need shocks as well. No bounce when I push on a fender (the old skool way to tell if you need shocks).
So, how DOES one know if they need shocks, other than mileage??

My left rear shock was leaking which my tire guy noticed while working on my car. I was told that its best to replace them all at once when one goes bad, so I pulled the plug on the row kit.

Just to clarify... was this the European M030 kit, or the US version that was $979?
