Does anybody sell a complete OEM suspension kit? I want to go all OEM correct and replace all the shocks, struts and rubber bushings (no poly) etc. I am worried that I will get into the project only to find I forgot to order a washer, widget, or whatever.

Any thoughts?

I would use the PET and your local dealer if you want OEM.

If you're a PCA member, Sunset Porsche can give you a larger discount than your local dealer.

go to any parts store, order shocks and bushings...they should be able to find the part numbers and order the parts by themselves.

I doubt you'll find original shocks, but I personally find the Bilsteins to be a worthy upgrade.

Rest of my 931 is stock, refreshed, as you're intending, and it is quite nice once everything's redone. For pure street use, IMO not an improvement to go to poly bushings etc. OTOH, I do live in the Detroit area, and I do have racecars to take care of that urge too...
