Interchangeability suspension 986 / 987

[Benouwa]

Hi all !
I made some researches on google but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I have a 2004 Boxster S (986) and I need to change the suspensions. One of my colleague can sell me the stock suspension from his 2008 Cayman (987).

Does somebody know if it would be compatible or if the suspensions have been redesigned by Porsche with the second generation of Boxster ?

Thanks for your answers.
Ben.

you are not going to find too many who have done anything like that. All I know is I bought a wrecked 06 Cayman that had one side of the suspension torn off and I had pieces from an 01 boxster which fit but were different'. the cayman is more beefy. I thinkg as long as you replace all the pieces you should be able to make it work.
