Item has been SOLD! TY
Bought from this board couple years ago, at the time of purchase I didn't know it was incomplete kit with missing key parts which prevented the installation.
The 4 cup washers for the front struts were impossible to find until I stumbled onto a Porsche part no. of the exact washer. They weren't cheap, $27.00 ea.
The blue isolators weren't to hard but the rear shock black spring perch bushings were also hard to source. Without them there will be metal-2-metal contact between the mount.
I was gonna have the PASM cable soldered to the extension cable, but decided leave that to the next owner, took it to a Porsche AD for a second opinion, should be fine as long
the continuity is checked out they said. RAC Performance also exam the parts, gave OK. Beside the broken PASM connector, overall the kit seemed to be in great shape.
Can take more pictures for interested buyer.
So after more than 2 years spent gathered the missing parts, now ready to install but decided go with B8s since car already have shorter Eibach springs. Plus coilover is overkill for my application anyway.
The top mount in the picture is not included, mocked only for picture.
Asking $1550.00$1400.00 shipped lowered 48 states.

Many internet merchants advertised the B8s on their websites as "in stock", however whether they can be shipped within reasonable time is another story, with the pandemic, shipping delay can be used as an escape goat.
Anyway, like strike gold, a sale rep name Austin at Tirerack searched their national inventory and found 2 rear shocks (delivered Tuesday). The front are being ordered from ThyssenKrupp...ETA 3 wks.
The bump stops of OEM B4s are cracked from bottom out due to the shorter springs...hope the B8s will improve the ride somewhat.
