After talking to both Pete at CG and my Tech, we went for CTE arms as good quality for the kind of use my car has (90% road/10% track).

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking to buy two, new, front control ('coffin') arms. Early creaking just perceptible, so thought I'd just cut to the chase and get it done. Genuine Porsche arms are currently £207+VAT (each) from my OPC, including the PCGB discount. Not cheap, but at least I know they'll fit!

POST 2Original post

Crikey! That's a lot isn't it? Apart from ebay, have you checked Design911? They seem to be much cheaper?

POST 3Original post

These were found to be good in a previous topic https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

POST 4Original post

http://www.eporsch.co.uk/specials/porsche-996-upgrades/ These are the guys that are selling them on eBay, have bought other items from them and they are good

POST 5Original post

I have literally just had this done on mine in the last few weeks but as the car now has 74K miles on it, I figured i would have it then set up by CG straight afterwards so I had the rears changed as well After talking to both Pete at CG and my Tech, we went for CTE arms as good quality for the kind of use my car has (90% road/10% track). Apparently some arms are slightly different length which needs adjusting for I think the CTE arms were less than £100 each? Worth having a full geo afterwards IMHO (especially as mine has KWv3 that have been on there for nearly 10 years and it gave me the perfect opportunity to have H&R ARB's fitted at the same time 8) Very impressed so far with CG and the suspension set up :thumb:

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I gather these come off the same Meyle production line. Which may or may not be a good thing?
