If you are looking for stock replacement standard Bilstien's like the one that came with your car:

P/N 99634304127 for 253.37 each.

http://www.porscheoemparts.com or the link at the top of this website "porsche parts at dealer cost": http://www.renntech....poffers/sunset/

Or are you looking at aftermarket?

Oh, sorry - you're in the UK. Well those places should ship internationally... but there should be local suppliers there who have competitive pricing.

At least you can look at the links I gave you for alternatives (the tirerack.com link lists other Bilstiens and Konis).

Perhaps someone will chime in with some suppliers in the UK.

Here's an interesting auction you might want to see:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-996-C2-FRONT-SPORTS-SHOCK-ABSORBERS-BILSTEIN-/150612516422

They are new upgraded struts for a IX74 option. I'm not sure if they would be a direct replacement for the standard kit.
