I agree with my fellow forum members on this one.

You can do this work yourself and save a ton of money.

I purchased a set of six spark plug tubes with O-rings from RockAuto two months ago and it cost me less than $20 shipped to my house in Texas.

I don't recommend changing out ignition coils unless they are failing.

I purchased my 99 Boxster in 2009 with 104,000 miles. I now have over 215,700 miles and still have the factory original ignition coils.

Byprodriver is correct about the VarioCam issue. I had to have mine (both sides) fixed before she turned 120,000 miles.

As for the IMS, just inspect your oil filter at each oil change. If there are shavings, then see about an IMS replacement. I am still have the original IMS in my car.

Just my opinion.

Congrats! on your new Boxster
