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.
