Information
Front shock absorber (PAIR), for cars with Standard chassis (M029).
This package includes a pair of OE Match front suspension struts, designed as direct-fit replacements for the standard-suspension Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman (982) models from 2017 onward. Each strut matches the original Porsche specifications for length, mounting geometry, and damping characteristics, ensuring balanced and predictable front-end performance when installed as a matched set.
SET OF 2, for both sides of the front axle.
Fits:
For cars with Standard chassis (option code: 029)
Porsche 982 Boxster (718) 2017>>
Porsche 982 Cayman (718) 2017>>
Diagram Ref No 1
Replacing struts in pairs is essential for maintaining even damping response across both sides of the front axle. This set restores correct chassis balance, steering precision, ride comfort, and braking stability - all crucial for the 718 platform’s handling dynamics.
These OE Match struts deliver smooth compression and controlled rebound, improving grip, stability, and comfort while driving on uneven roads or during spirited cornering. With factory-style fitment, no modifications are needed, making installation straightforward.
Why replace as a set?
• Ensures equal damping left and right
• Prevents uneven wear and inconsistent handling
• Restores proper geometry and braking stability
• Maximizes performance and comfort in everyday and sporty driving

Information
Sport shock absorber.
Upgrade your Porsche Boxster’s front suspension with the OE-Match front shock absorber. Designed to replicate factory specifications, this replacement strut delivers balanced ride comfort and control—perfect for drivers seeking restored handling without going overly stiff.
This shock is especially suited for Boxster models equipped with the M030 sport suspension option (sport-type running gear). It absorbs road irregularities, controls body motion under braking and cornering, and maintains alignment under dynamic loads. Over time, original shocks soften or leak; installing this OE-Match unit brings back crisp steering response, stable ride behaviour, and safer driving dynamics.
Fits:
Porsche 986 Boxster 2.5L / 2.7L / S 3.2L 09/1996>>
Fits cars:
- with standard suspension or M030 sport option

Information
Front shock absorbers and fitting kit by Kits for selected Porsche Boxster 986 models from 09/1996 onwards. Supplied as a set of two, it is intended for a paired front-axle damper refresh using parts selected for the listed applications.
What This Product Does Front shock absorbers control front suspension movement by damping spring compression and rebound. They work with the springs, mounts and related suspension parts to help the front wheels follow the road surface in a controlled manner.
Functions
- Damps front wheel and suspension movement.
- Helps control bounce, pitch and nose dive.
- Works with the coil springs and top mounts.
- Supports a balanced left/right front-axle replacement.
- Helps reduce unwanted movement that can contribute to tyre wear.
Symptoms of Fault
- Excessive bouncing after bumps.
- Knocking or creaking from the front suspension.
- Damp or oily residue on the damper body.
- Floaty ride or poor body control.
- Nose dive when braking.
- Uneven or cupped tyre wear.
- Vague steering feel or tramlining.
- A harsh ride can also point to seized mounts or incorrect spring pairing, so diagnosis is important.
Why Replacement Matters Front dampers are commonly changed to return damping function to the expected condition and to keep the front axle matched from side to side. When fitting a kit, compare the contents with the job list before work starts, as mounts, bump stops, bolts or other one-time-use items may need to be checked separately.
Fits
- Porsche Boxster 986 2.5L, 1997–99.
- Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L, 1999–02.
- Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L, 1999–02.
- Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L, 2003–04.
- Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L, 2003–04.
Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.
FAQs
- Should front shock absorbers be replaced in pairs? Yes, left and right units are normally replaced together on the same axle.
- Is alignment needed after fitting? Alignment should usually be checked after suspension work.
- Are all fitting parts included? Kit contents can vary, so check the contents list against the work being carried out.
- What else should be inspected? Top mounts, bump stops, bushes and related hardware should be checked while the front suspension is apart.
