Default 987.2 shocks and bushings

Around when should one look to replacing these wear parts? My car has about 50k miles and is a 2009.

Don't want to go over full coil overs and do not want to lower the car, I'm considering the blistein mono tubes. Not sure which variant I should go for, thanks.

Car is a boxster S. Plan to do autox every other month and three track days a year.

At 50k there is minimal wear, especially in the bushings. Both my wife's base '08 and the current '09 parts were in great shape at those miles. If you wish to freshen anyway, the complete cayman R pkg of struts/springs is a very cost effective kit, usually for less than the price of bilstein pss coilovers, and performs very well for a dual purpose car.

Okay great to know for the future.

Would you just buy that package from the dealer?

I agree. If you don't go coil overs, get the R package. Suncoast?
