I've researched this to death before pulling the trigger and figured worse case scenario I could adjust the ride hight and/or roll the rear fenders.

My intention is to have a clean 996 that I can play with on the weekends with a little spirited driving here and there with the possibility of taking her to the track if time permits.

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.

Thanks to alot of useful information on these forums, here's what I've come up with so far... Still work in progress, but I just picked up "Sally" (My 5 year old son calls her Sally from Cars) a few weeks ago. She was a nice all factory example with all the dealer service records, etc... My intention is to have a clean 996 that I can play with on the weekends with a little spirited driving here and there with the possibility of taking her to the track if time permits.
So far I've done...
- OEM smoked sidemarkers
- Depo LED Taillights
- LED interior lights / license plate lights
- Very light tint all the way around
- K&N Cold Air Intake
- H&R Street Performance Coilover kit (Thanks to the DIY Tutorials on this forum!)
- 19x8.5 19x11 Roderick Wheels 45mm f / 52mm r (Yes they do fit)
- Hankook V12 235/35/19 - 285/30/19
- Fister D Mufflers at Darin's shop getting modded at the moment.
Interior mods and photos are coming soon. Guage rings, Carbon Fiber, Seats, etc... I'll update with photos as we progress. =)
Here are some of the wheels alone. This was an area of concern as I was unsure if this set up with fit without rolling fenders and other possible modifications. I really wanted an agressive set up that was plug and play. So far no rubbing, no rolloing fenders, etc... I will report back after taking her on a long bumpy drive.
This one is compressed on the curb to check clearance...
IMO, I didnt see anything wrong with the original wheels / tires. Those new ones look to be a really tight fit. Anyway, beautiful car.
DO NOT TRACK IT!!!!! Didnt you read the other post? It will blow up.
I like the new agressive stance. Wheels are beautiful, I hope it does not rub looks really close in the back. Your car is a twin to mine except for the new wheels.
very nice looking car and tasteful mods...
i really like the tail lights and want them myself but i read in one the the threads that those led tail lights have been causing electrical issues since it uses less volts then oem lights. Have you had any issues?
..........
to your new toy
I agree. I actually like these oem wheels along with many other oem Porsche style wheels. However, if you look closely, you will see all the curb rash on the original wheels and the tires were old and needed replacement. Besides, a sporty mesh wheel always goes well on a Porsche I also feel the same about BMW. As for Mercedes, I think a nice 5 Star looks good.
As for tracking, it may never see the track, but it would be nice to take her out for a few rides.
No issues whatsoever and soooo easy to install. I've had great luck with depo products in the past with all my other euro cars so I didn't even hesitate on the lights.
So far so good. Nice little growl at wot not much difference in hp although this has been debated to death. I've had these kits in my other cars. I guess I did it for the looks, sound and for the sake of modding. Lol
Very nice car with tasteful mods
I really like the taillights; however, since they don't improve the performance of the car, I'll pass. But, they look terrific on your car
So far so good on the rubbing. I've researched this to death before pulling the trigger and figured worse case scenario I could adjust the ride hight and/or roll the rear fenders. So far it's pretty low and an absolute perfect fit with no fender rolling.
Thank you everyone for you comments!!
normally I dont like 19's on 996's
but those look pretty nice
with the H&R set up did you get higher spring rates to keep it from hitting bottom with the shortened travel?
I think i would be bumping something if the springs were not a lot bigger / stiffer
Fitment looks pretty good there, happy to see the tire and wheel fitment look good. I think the 285 vs 295 was a good choice, just a little bit of stretch to get it under the fender, pretty nice stance while being practical to drive, though the fitment may be a little more hellaflush with 295's or spacers you lose drivability without rolled fenders.
Thanks. No bumpn', chattering, rubn' etc... Perfect fit. I've had many suspension set ups and I must say, very pleased with the H&R Street Performance Coilovers. The dampening of the struts match the spring rate perfectly.
I was going back and forth between 285 ad 295s and really wanted to go 295, but I decided to play it safe and go with the 285s in fear of rubbing with such an aggressive width and offset. 295's would have cleared with a fender roll for sure. I was also afraid the 285's would be stretched, but it's actually not too bad. Overall, pretty happy with the stance.
Thanks for all your comments.
Now I need some HP upgrades!
Thinking of a cat delete to go with my Fister D's. Just debating wether to go X pipe or Crossovers?
