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.

Hi all. Despite asking my local OPC l’ve not bee in able to indentify whether a sports suspension kit l’ve been offered will fit my 996. It’s from my brother in law who worked for Lancaster Porsche in Colchester so is OE. I’ve attached a photo of the kit box and hopefully someone my be able to help. I don’t know whether a 997 kit will fit a 996 anyway. Thanks for any help
Porsche should be able to confirm but I think that is a retrofit kit for a 996 Manual
Thanks. I’ve emailed them but no response as yet. Would it fit a "tip”?
That is indeed a Sports Suspension kit, the -08 kit you have there is for a C4 Coupe with a manual, worth noting C4 suspension will not fit a C2 as the front shocks and springs are a different design. As you mentioned having a tiptronic you would technically need the same part number but with -20 at the end not -08. But the tipronic kit costs almost 3 times the price of the manual kit and the only real difference is the rear spring rate and shocks are slightly different to account for the extra 55kg at the rear on the tiptronic. If it's a good deal it's worth getting, even if you want to buy rear springs specifically for the tip it would still work out cheaper than the tipronic kit and a lot of us are happy to buy shocks and spring which just state they are for a 996 not differentiating between models as the difference in the real world and certainly on the street is negligible.
Thanks for a great response. Mines a C2 so no good to me. l‘ll see if it’s up for general sale and maybe post. Thanks again
