Hi, I have a GT4 with Porsche extended warranty, i want to have car set up for occasional track and fast road, this would involve Geo, corner weight, and adding front shims and rear adjustable control arms (non Porsche) plus changing front pads and fluid to non porsche parts, will this invalidate the Porsche warranty for the vehicle, i know in the past Porsche have been very strict about the fitting of non Porsche products, car is due next service and warranty extension March 2026, TIA

It wouldn't/shouldn't affect the warranty if you use the 12v under the dash or use an unused fuse slot.

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.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 2Original post

Undoubtedly. Even having a dashcam hardwired would've invalidated mine.

POST 3Original post

Porsche do take a dim view of non Porsche parts being fitted especially if the work is done by a third party. Dashcams are an issue if they are spliced into the wiring loom. It wouldn't/shouldn't affect the warranty if you use the 12v under the dash or use an unused fuse slot. It also depends on the relationship with your OPC.

POST 4Original post

My 991.2 GT3 has had BBS wheels fitted to it for at least four years….warranty never been a problem. Very OPC dependent I guess.

POST 5Original post

Read the warranty - it’s pretty clear. If the changes you make cause an issue you’re on your own. But if you make some suspension tweaks and your engine detonates, the warranty still applies.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
