DO you guys think softening the springs will help with the "porpoising" I am getting?[/QUOTE]

Just a thought, your porpoising may be from the flex you are getting as the result of removing your center support where your inter-cooler now sits. As stiff as your suspension is set at, I really don't see how your car would be porpoising. It may be that as your car dips and the shocks are stiff, your actual suspension arms are flexing since there is no support to keep them together. Just a thought...

Very possible, i have a complete set of bars on their way to me. it may be two weeks until i can get them on.

After driving the car more today the problem may be solved. I went over a few dips on the road today that normally would create the unsettled feeling today the car did not give me the impression i was launching into the air.

i am going to tweek it a little more tomorrow with my new found knowledge of boxster suspensions and will report back shortly.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
