Performed · outcome unconfirmed
I replaced all control arms recently and had zero issues that a little Exacto work didn’t fix during install.
Leading evidence: 'Replace control arms recently and had zero issues' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'easier thing' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace control arms recently and had zero issues' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
Probably the easier thing to do for direct bolt on in a 996.

Suggestion
Alternatively, you can use 996GT2 rear ducts for a simple direct bolt on.

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I�m completely rebuilding the suspension on my �99 and many of the suspension parts have been superseded multiple times since the car was originally built. One example are the control arms. As you can see in the pic, the latest revision (99733104302) is thicker and therefore will no longer allow the original stone deflector to fit over it.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Maybe the stone deflectors need to be changed out to the ones used on the 997?
OP - You’ve most likely read at least some of the many threads mentioning duct options. Put the GT3 ducts on the front and the 997 Turbo ducts on the back. I replaced all control arms recently and had zero issues that a little Exacto work didn’t fix during install.
Pelican Parts has the scoops in stock.
I just ordered a set for myself.
The rest seems to be difficult to find as they're NLA.
Maybe DC Automotive or one of the other dismantlers has good used parts.
DE Porsche shows all the part numbers as active. Not sure what availability is like but they can be ordered. I just dont want to spend the $300 on plastic when i coild use it for another track day.
Fyi on the rear control arm parts i had to trim them for my gt3 spec wheels and 295 tires and i had to trim the inner fender liner some too. Just took 5 min with a razor knife.
That's great!
Can you tell us whether the part number have been superseded?
Perhaps if there's a new number, that's all I need in order to...order.
Also, from where did you order them?
996Cup upper air guides/ducts and 997Cup lower ducts in the front

997GT3 rear undertray with NACA ducts and caliper air ducts. Be aware that fitting the 997 under tray pictured in the post #26 above requires modifications if using on a 996 chassis as it's not a direct bolt on.

997.2GT3 rear brake ducts. Alternatively, you can use 996GT2 rear ducts for a simple direct bolt on. Probably the easier thing to do for direct bolt on in a 996.

I have;
997.504.629.92 belly tray
997.575.183.00 Left duct
997.575.184.00 Right duct
997.331.487.02 Left scoop
997.331.488.02 Right scoop
This where it gets interesting. I had an order with Rose Passion and Gaudin going at same time and inadvertently ordered ducts from both places. Rose Passion had both in stock and Gaudin only had the left one (997.575.183.00). Gaudin said the right one (997.575.184.00) is coming from Germany.
I have issues...
I have a pair of cold weather sneaker boots from Vans... they're fantastic. Vans are a timeless classic. Back to the vents, they're available from Pelican with the try being a special order parts. 385.00 without shipping and special freight for the SOP form Germany. Also need the part numbers for the one up front... I'm not entirely sure I have any plastics up there.
