Default Where to buy Eibach Pro kit for 2002 996 Carrera 2 Targa

I am looking to purchase a set of Eibach Pro kit springs for my 2002 Targa. I don’t wish to banter the merits of other springs, nor discuss suspension mods in general. I want a set of Eibach Progressive Springs for my 2002 Targa. These are back ordered by th factory till sometime in September, this backorder has been reset several times. I’m reaching out to the forum to ask if anyone knows of a vendor that has these in stock at this time, or if someone has a used set they are willing to sell. Any help in obtaining a set is greatly appreciated, I’m willing to wait for the factory to restock these but I fear that since this has been the 3rd time they have been backordered I am worried that the factory won’t produce these anymore.
Thanks for any help, Ed M

C2 non-targa/cab springs also back-ordered 9/20/19. Eibach doesn’t have any C2 rear springs in stock. Eibach has 27 front springs in stock now and 101 rear springs are scheduled to be done mid-Sep. But good old Tire Rack does have them in stock.

I don't think it matters if the car is a cab , targa or coupe , c2 suspensions are interchangeable

I don't know about Eibach, but I can confirm that H&R have different springs for cabs and coupes...cab spring rate is higher.

JTT is correct. M030, Eibach, H&R, etc have differing spring rates to account for different mass locations and amounts.

Are you sure ? H&r for example doesn’t have a different selection when ordering online , c2 is a c2 , coupe , cab, targa .
Do you have a definitive source ?

H&R have different part numbers. 29513-2 for Cab, 29513 for Coupe. Mine actually have "Cabrio" printed right on the spring as I remember.

I personally did not like the way my car sat after Eibach spring install. Had to cut half a coil in the front to make it look right. This is a pic prior to cutting.

Crap I wish I would have read this before I got these installed on my 02 Cab. Exactly the same situation
