Here are the part numbers for X73 specific components.
I bought an incomplete used set and sourced the missing parts from Gert @ Carnewal (www.carnewal.com) a few years ago.

Front Shocks 996 343 980 33
Front Springs 996 343 980 27
Front Bump Stops 996 343 980 35
Front Upper Mounts 996 343 980 15 (Left), 996 343 980 16 (Right)

Rear Shocks 996 333 980 16 or 996 333 980 25
Rear Spring Support 996 333 980 18
Rear Spacer 996 333 980 19 (3.0mm) or 996 333 980 20 (7.0mm) - I think which one depends on the color of markings on the rear springs
Rear Springs 996 333 980 12
Rear Bump Stops Same as standard suspension
Rear Upper Mounts Same as standard suspension

Would love to find out that getting a hold of this setup is still possible!

Just an update: first, thank you to tkuwaha for the part numbers. I've been searching occasionally for the past 3 years... no luck. It appears it's still going to be a matter of ordering all that stuff at retail.

I have been searching eBay Germany and UK for these parts as well. For my purposes the standard ROW Turbo springs appear to be a step in the right direction, according to this chart I found:

I have a set of ROW suspension springs from a 996 turbo for sale too. They sit very nice. Maybe 3/4 to 1" lower. Noticeable and ride well also.
