Boxster 986 Complete Suspension Overhaul

[Eric G]

Bala, I just took a look at vertex and their price. If cost is a concern... new parts from Design911 including struts, springs, sway bars and all of the suspension drop links were less expensive.

For ordering the parts from the UK you have to remember you don't pay VAT and the exchange rate means the price you see is 60% less when the exchange rate for the dollar is included.

For all of those parts my order came to only 1700.00 (with shipping).

I don't need struts, springs and sway bars.

Did that include the control arms and such? Can't be that less. Something doesn't add up. Their price quoted is in Sterling pounds. At 1.54 exchange rate it can't be 60% less even when you take VAT out. Madmods said the ones in his picture on this thread was just under 2900. I did not get a response from them. Ordered from Vertex already. Oh well!

I called my parts guy at Porsche yesterday and even with my steep discount of 10% over cost they still can't beat the prices of TRW parts online. I'm thinking TRW would be the parts to get if genuine too expensive, or do others like anything else?
