My shocks were toast before 70K miles. Ditto for the CA's and wheel bearings. And by toast I mean it was embarrassing how shredded they were. Mind you my car was always garage kept and driven only on weekends. These cars may be reliable, but in the North East they are not at all durable.

RandallNeighbohr is spot on cost. This was easily my most expensive suspension overhaul of any previous car. I usually flip to my copy of "101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster" to guestimate the cost of a big job. Between parts and labor I think we were well over $7K and my indy's rate is a very sensible $85 an hour. Most of the cost were the pricey Porsche parts.

if you're getting out-handled by a top heavy Golf, then I'm guessing you're due for a lift inspection.
