Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Sometimes we just need to get better ourselves than change the machinery.
Leading evidence: 'Replace machinery' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace machinery' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I've been looking around the net and on here for pics of a 996 with spacers on, does anyone have any?
I'm looking at 15mm and 9mm from porscheshop.co.uk, I'm hoping the car will be ok 30mm lower with these on, but think it may be a bit hit and miss.....
Cheers,
When i went to centre gravity, chris mentioned that theres a number on the wheel which coresponds to the maximum spacer. On my 17's i think its 7 at the front and 15 at the back. I dont know what would happen if you went different to that tho, oh i dont forget you need longer wheel nuts too[
].
I called Porsche today, 5mm all round is recomended for a C2 with 18" alloys.
£250 for all four 5mm spacers with extended bolts.
I don't think 5mm will make a noticeable difference? How does playing it safe and going for 9mm all round sound from porsche shop?
