Replacement suspension ideas?

My 2001 Boxster S has over 200k on the clock, and the all four struts are shot to hell. Trying to find a replacement set along with new springs (just to be on the safe side if those are original to the car) Non-M030 set up ideas?

I replaced all my 2000 Box S suspension @ 96 K miles & it made a big difference. All stock parts except for M030 struts & springs. I wouldn't want it any other way unless I raced it alot.

With your mileage It will be a huge improvement.

I got mine from Rock Auto, oem. Even from them, they were crazy, stupid expensive. I reused the springs, but put new mounting thingies on the top and new bellows. Autozone will loan you a spring compressor, sort of. And an air impact makes it easy-peezy.

I never use air impact, always torque by hand.

I just replaced everything on my 2003 S. 100K miles. Everything stock except Billstien B6 instead of B4 struts. Got a rough ride. Should have stayed with the B4s.
