Default Where to buy X73 suspension
Suncoast indicates a 2 month back order. What are some other options?

Try WTB ads. Some people take the X73 off to go to a fully adjustable suspension. Could also contact some of the racing oriented shops, e.g. TPC, BGB etc.

Try Sonnen Porsche. You may need to call and have them price the kit but they are usually slightly cheaper than Suncoast at bottom line on most parts I buy from Porsche dealerships.

Try dealers. There's typically one in dealer stock somewhere. Sonnen did mine a few years back.

Question, i’m new to this, The X73 seems everyone’s acourt upgrade, mines so far, But what good price Coolovers would be the next option? 1400-1600 price range for the X73 is perfect budget upgrade, JRZ is 3k plus, what else is out there that is as good but under 2k ? thanks

OP:

I have one, new in the box sitting in the garage.

Sold the car, 2013 Boxster before installing, the car was replaced with a 997.2 with SPSAM.

You can have it for $1,000.00 picked up in Maryland.

Let me know if you are interested and I’ll post pictures.

Thanks,

Will it fit a 981 Cayman 15 model?

Yes it will fit the 981 Cayman, it is designed for a 6spd Manual. I think the rear springs on the pdk are slightly stiffer. Please do your research.

I really do not want to ship this, it’s big and heavy, so local buyers will get priority.
