Suggestion
as for the extra weight, I also fill my petrol tank up, instead of leaving it half full, so I don't really worry about the weight issue.

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.

So here it is, the one you have all been waiting for. I replaced my originals with Meyle arms and noted the differences.
Are those ~ 45 quid Meyle brand coffin arms as good as the TRW originals?
- Meyle arms are 200g (15%) heavier than TRW
- Looking at the photos you can see the extra material in them.
That's about the only real functional difference I noted. So by using Meyle arms you are somewhat negating all the effort Porsche put into reducing unsprung mass by fitting alloy arms.
Another difference!!!
Im not sure if it was just a bad batch, but I've just put Bilstien pss10 and lower arms (meyle) on my 996 Turbo and sent it to Precision to get set up.
Precision are saying they cannot get the correct camber, because the Meyle arms are so badly sized. They've had this before and wouldn't recommend buying them. Ive now had to shell out for genuine ones :nooo:
DONT GO NEAR THEM :hand:
I replaced all mine now with Meyle, I'm at least 6 months in, had hunter alignment done with no issues.
So, got all 4 done with alignment for less than £300 .... bargain,
as for the extra weight, I also fill my petrol tank up, instead of leaving it half full, so I don't really worry about the weight issue.
But, I don't use my car on a track , it's a high days & holidays car,
so really,
you pays your money & you makes your choice.
Correct - don't go near them. We have already made them aware that you cannot get standard settings with these lca because of the extra size. Complete waste of money.
Edit - you can fit them on the front and get the specs to standard. You cannot do it on the rear however.
I fitted TRW on the front(bought a year ago) £45 each and Meyle( bought year ago) £44 each on the rear
Car aligned to factory spec no problem at all.
The casting on the meyle ones i got looked very well finished comparable to TRW
Not sure if things have changed :dont know:
Does anyone know if the cheaper arms are made from exactly the same material ? Maybe they have been made " beefier" because they are made from inferior aluminium ??
Re: Comparison of Meyle Coffin arms VS TRW made Genuine Pors
Bought a set of CTE for my 996t. Looks good in quality. Matt from type911 said these were the closest thing to TRW arms, since TRW don't make them anymore. They weight 1.47kg
Agreed I had massive problems getting the alignment correct on the rear, they were so different I had huge toe in. In the end settled for a camber compromise.
Having just fitted the Meyle ones and having alignment done with no issues, I'd like to hear more on the size issue? I also lowered mine by 30mm so had the geo set to the x74 spec.
As for 25g difference in unsprung mass, I don't think I'm astute enough to feel the difference?
I do now feel naive as I didn't even consider that there would be a significant difference between these and OEM, but now you mention it, it seems obvious there will be some difference.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
