Default Best place to buy Ohlins DFV Coilovers for a 99 C2?

What places do you recommend to buy Ohlins DFV coilovers? The cheapest ive found is ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ohlins-Road...a/372505514627

Any other options?

Doing a whole suspension restoration and upgrade on my 996. Polybush all around, Ohlins coilovers, Eibach sway bars. Drop links.



Thanks!

I don’t think showing used KSports is relevant. Öhlins and KSport aren’t really in the same league. It would be like showing someone a Miata when they’re looking for a 911.

its worth sending Carnewal an email.
they tend to have great prices and advice on suspension .
even shipping from Europe , they can be a good option as they source all the major names even if its not listed on their site

I ended up buying mine recently off an ebay seller. Best deal I could find on the internet was $2750. I haven't installed them yet. What do you plan on using for the top mounts? Is it worth installing the Elephant Racing adjustable units, or are the stock units ok? I have RSS lower control arms that allow more camber. I currently have the stock shocks installed.

I plan on using OEM top mounts. Basically doing a set up very similar to the 996 from carwow seen in this video below. The only difference is the sway bars im instaling are Eibach and the bushings are a different brand.
