About time I replaced the struts and shocks. Browsing and I found this set which is equivalent in price to just one strut/shock from Koni.

Anyone use these before?

Well, the OEM shocks are specially designed for each engine type / model year. If one fits all - no comment.

actually ... shocks are the same. s shocks the same part number as base shocks. and they don't change part numbers from 97 to 04 either.

m030 sport suspension option is different.

I saw those too recently, but didn't want to be the first one to try them out

I just put in Koni FSD they're perfect for me

Please tell more, I think you might be the first on here with a set on a 986 Boxster. It sounds like you are liking them pretty good so far? What springs are you using?

Thanks,

Steve

My take is that they are similar to cheap coil overs;

Will they work? Yes.
Will they fail in a month? Probably no.
Will they fail in a year? Depends on how many miles you drive.
Will they last as long as an OEM shock? Probably no.
Can I drive canyons with them? Yes.
Are they better than stock? Hard to say but probably better than your old shocks but not as good as a new OEM shock.
Are they better than PSS9's? Definitely no.
Are they better than my worn/blown OEM shocks? Yes.
Will they be good on the track? Probably no.

I used H&R sport springs and the Koni FSD. I drove my mechanics car with the Bilstein coil overs and loved the handling but seemed to stiff for every day driving. They give a very comfortable hwy ride and stiffer in the twistys. Very happy so far. If I was going to do a lot of track day's it would be bilstein for sure but I'm on the street 99.99% of the time.

I forgot to mention I have a 2000 Boxster S the car is about 1 inch lower with this set up. I'm using stock wheels no clearance problems. Other mods include IBD pelinum, larger throttle body, fabspeed headers, cat bypass tubes,Borla exhaust, limited slip Dif,GT3 short shifter, upgraded shift cables,softronic tune. Direct oil feed to IMS. I bought this car 1 year ago with 32k on the clock. Engine replaced by Porsche at 17k because of IMS failure. I have all paper work since new

I read through the reviews at bimmer forums and there's mixed feelings. One owner said they blew within 5 months, another was going strong for 3 years. Of course the mileage matters. Some also said there were fitment issues, where others had no complaint.

Seems like for the price it's good enough for daily use. If you track, I would definitely stay away. If I do pull the trigger on these I'll be sure to review it here.

Thanks all for the input

remember that the internet is a strange place. 999 people could be using a product with no problems, and the one failure gets posted multiple times on multiple different forums. further, failures early in the manufacturing life of a product due to an unforeseen initial design flaw shouldn't reflect on a current product which may have had that flaw long since engineered away, however most internet dialog is typically not that informed.

I'd be suspicious, they are just too cheap. You usually get what you pay for.

At $70 each, they are cheap compared to bilstein replacements which are original equipment for the boxster. But for most cars, $70 is an average price for a replacement strut. My contention is that the bilsteins (Porsche) are over priced.

how in the wide world of sports did that car pass smog?

[Orkin Man]

JayG the cats are built into the headers. Passed sniff test the Boxster is harder to do visual inspection. So the lazy guy just doesn't look

I saw them the other day and did a search, finding the threads on the bmw forum. I would day thstone wrote what i was thinking. Definitely better than 125k mile blown stock, bit don't expect miracles.

Funny thing, products like this are the result of manufactures squeezing profits by having their products made in China. Trouble is, those companies have now taught the Chinese how to make their stuff, to the last detail.

Next they'll act surprised to see "their product" sold with a different color of paint but cheaper.

I just bought a Boxster 98 and I need new shocks urgently!
I did some research and I was about to buy the Stagg's for 309 bucks including shipping on ebay.
Before to buy I did more research on google shopping and I just found the Bilstein's B4 OE Replacement for front and rear (22-113313 and 22-113320) for total of 372 on raceconsultingagency.com

I think that for this small difference, it have no sense to go with Stagg.
What do you guys think??

[dghii]

That $372 will buy you 1 front and 1 rear OEM Bilstein.

[oldskool73]

Nano305 - I think it's gonna be twice that cost, you need 4 of them!
