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

I took my Boxster S to a Porsche mechanic on the weekend to have a look over it. I only bought it recently and it has lowered suspension. So the mechanic told me that I should get spacers for the wheels so that they fill out the arches better. He told me the best bet is to get them online and I'm happy to install them myself. Anyhow, he recommended 20mm for the rear and 15mm for the front. I can't find that exact size, but I can find similar OE ones, 17mm and 21mm on suncoast . Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks, Sandy.

try www.allsprings.com and go w/ H&R as most of us have. If you go w/ the 'sandwich' style for the 15mm, don't forget the longer wheel bolts. Good luck
