Last time I checked there was a set in Germany, 4-5 weeks.
Leading evidence: 'Check there was a' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check there was a' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Have you considered the RoWM030 kit? It's roughly 1K for the entire kit and comes with new shocks and springs as well as new anti-roll bars. It lowers the car and actually makes the ride MORE comfortable.
Personally, I would do all four corners as your other 3 shocks are wearing at a different rate.
The only way to tell is under the front hood on your options sticker (or if the previous owner has documentation something else was installed). The M030 is the sport suspension and is available as RoWM030 and USM030. They are the same except for ride height. It is an OPTIONAL suspension.
You might want to consider the new Koni FSD shocks (frequency sensing dampers) for your car. They have gotten great reviews for the 993's. Concept is double valving so that they are firm during normal driving but soften up for major bumps. You can get a set now for 25% off, only $840 shipped in the states. This is about $300 or less than the Bilsteins. I was committed to trying a set but then found out that they are only made for a C2 and my car is a C4 (slightly different mounts on the front). Koni also make a adjustable shock for C2's.
I am not affiliated with Koni but used them on my other Porsches.
You can get the heavy duty Bilstein shocks from this site for under $800 shipped.

Depends how low you want to go?
If you want to lower your car and replace the bad shock(s) then
the ROW M030 suspension is the way to go. It will lower your car and replace the shocks.
The x74 suspension is another option that will dramatically lower your car. More $$$ though.
if the ROWM030 comes assembled and you are thinking of just shocks, the savings in parts will not outweight the additional cost of labor (IMO) - RWOM030 is one of the cheapest routes to go -
Sunset and Porscheoemparts.com have the ROW M030 for $1,036, saves $100+ over Suncoast. Availability can be a problem. I know there are no sets for a C4 in the US. Last time I checked there was a set in Germany, 4-5 weeks.
I really like the X74......not too stiff....yes it is lower but it just drives fantastic. With the Euro going in the tank the USD cost is around $1700 (shipping included) from Carnewal.
