The creaking from the control arms (what you call coffin arms in the UK) is the bushes which wear with mileage or rough roads. A temp fix is to pull back the rubber boots and inject some silicon grease (not normal grease) from a pressurised can.
Again, log onto Design 911 and check out their TRW coffin arms and pricing. I had them send out the front "kit" to me here in Australia and they fitted well and are of good OEM quality.

A good wheel alignment by a Porsche independent garage is well worth the cost - Boxster's can feel very loose with worn suspension and iffy alignment specs.
Steve, TRW makes the OEM suspension parts for Porsche along with 75+% of all other car manufacters. If you see a spot on your new TRW parts where it's been ground on by a dremel, it's to remove Porsches symbol so TRW can sell it as their own part.
