Full set from eBay for £123, they say they are cnc'd and the bolts have the captive washer that the cheaper ones don't.

As far as lowering goes, I keep meaning to do mine but can hardly get it on a 2-poster without the use of a trolley jack which keeps putting me off as I know I won't be able to get it easily on/off most ramps (inc MOT jacks) :eh!:

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My wheels are in for a refurb but the shop has said the bolts are so knackered that he won't put them back on. I'm now at the crossroads of getting standard length bolts or longer ones and spacing the wheels out as I'm lowering them anyway. Questions are: 1. As far as spacing goes is it 7 front and 15mm rear? 2. DesignTek on Design911 have what looks to be complete kits for £263 plus vat and post, are there cheaper options? 3. If I buy the longer bolts for now will they fit without the spacers? Thanks as ever Simon

POST 2Original post

I think 7 and 15 is right. £260 is a heck of a lot for 4 spacers/20 bolts.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, that's what I thought they're £311 all in. I've found some cheapo ones on eBay but can't find anything in between? Decent standard bolts are £180 though so it's one of those, do I pay the extra for the spacers and longer bolts ???!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Full set from eBay for £123, they say they are cnc'd and the bolts have the captive washer that the cheaper ones don't. Doubt they're as resistant to corrosion but can't be much worse than the Porsche ones! https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/WHEEL-SPAC...en:996&hash=item541673aed4:g:NpMAAOSwrfVZSp6q

Re: Lowering springs bought but now a couple of spacing Q'' Yes, 7/15 best and I would go for H&R's with a stud conversion instead of bolts (the shims always rot anyway) :thumb: As far as lowering goes, I keep meaning to do mine but can hardly get it on a 2-poster without the use of a trolley jack which keeps putting me off as I know I won't be able to get it easily on/off most ramps (inc MOT jacks) :eh!:
