Got my Boxster S back with suspension upgrade
Sourced a lightly used spec box setup
With some KWsports, 500# front and 650# rears
From various folks I picked up
A set of M030 sways, some tarrett rear drop links, tarrett camber plates, and new tarrett monoballs rear strut mounts.
Did a little tower dremmel mods to the front camber mounts.
Just got it back from the alignment shop
Pulling -2.8 degrees front camber and -2.3 rear camber.
New Dirrezza Ii's on rear to go with Dirrezza 1's up front
Installed Underdrive pulley, plumbed for oil pressure gauge (although I have to wire up the gauge still)
Felt really solid on the ride home.
Stiff for sure, but not intolerable.
Can't wait to hit the track and see how the upgrade performs.

I fully agree with you. I have also a Boxster S (01) with PSS9 on each corners and love it.
(I have "GT3" type, adjustable control arms in the front, and I'm also around -3°)
The feeling is real good, but I think, to enjoy it to the best, the tires choice is very critical.
I currently have Hankook V12, and really do NOT like them. My problem : they are new !
Bought the car recently, and the 4 tires were just changed.
Still, I think I will go for Nitto NT01 very soon.
