Default Looking for NEW GKN LOEBRO axle assemblies-964

Looks like no one has these in the entire USA. Does anyone have a new one? Or know a resaler that has one in stock? I need two, but will settle for one.
Thanks.

Do you need new? Or would used suffice?

I would really like a new one. I just sheared an axle at the Monticello race, so concerned a used one might already have some issues.

I hear you. I have some used ones front and i think rear as well for a C4...

Good luck in the search...have you called sunset to see if they can expedite from Porsche directly?

Two years ago I replaced mine with originals as I could not find the OEMs.

The only other option was a rebuild with core charge... but that is close to the same price.

I recall just over 1k USD for both.

Yes, Looks like GKN Loebro has no stock and no time on when they will have any. I am sure someone in the US has to have a new Loebro axle in stock. Half price on the OEM versions.
I am trying to save some money....

I do have a new pair of C2 axle assemblies.

Email me directly if you are interested.

^^^ Very cool!

Most of the online sellers use SSF for their parts, so SSF seems to be out. I usually get OEM from RM European and well, they're out.
Factory part isn't horrible from Sunset:

That's exactly what I did... but I looked all over EU as well. I really think GKN has not produced for a while. But that while is now 3 years, since I held out a year (6k km only though).
