So axle and (toe?) link need to be disconnected in the rear.

That's what I remember. The hub / knuckle assembly needs to be able to move freely to get the strut assembly out and removing the axle from the differential flange and removing the toe link allow it to drop down and pivot.

PSS9 Bilsteins are $2K for parts.

Do you have PCA membership? This ad is for 987 Ohlins for $2500 (which is not much of a discount, but perhaps there is some room there):

People pay WAY too much for used Ohlins in my experience.

People pay way too much for Ohlins period.

These are new in box. If JST was going to get them for $3k, perhaps this guy will sell them for $1800 or 2000. Doesn't hurt to offer... Unless.. there is some other suspension that he wants.

I do have a membership but I can’t contact the seller for whatever reason; equ does it work for you?

They have changed the site. You need to log in to pca.org then again make sure you are logged in on the classifieds/mart site. It doesn't look like contact is blocked. Do cayman & boxster use same rates?

Funny, this thread inspired me to browse for 981 wheels that I occasionally hunt for (19" , 8 to 8.5 & 9.5 to 10 widths and good offsets. No overly wide rears).

I hadn't been on pca.org for weeks as I drive the boxster not all that much.

An OEM 19" set was powdercoated or dipped or something so passed on it a few months ago. Looks like I just missed a nice OZ 19" set (8.5 & 10 with correct offsets)... Looking for wheels, I saw the 987 suspension.

It literally won't let me log into "Mart." It just kicks me back to pca.org, where I am already logged in. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I get the same thing on both Safari on my phone and Chrome on my PC.

Log into pca. Open mart in a new tab and log in there as well. Third step try the link I posted. This works for me mac/chrome

Yeah, doesn't work. Just keeps referring me back to login.

EDIT: Equ, if you can get a contact email from that ad, can you send it to me on FB Messenger?
