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

Sorry if a similar question is buried.... Has anyone fitted spacers to their 996? I have heard they help reduce understeer and also improve slightly to the aesthetics... I am thinking of buying a set just to get the bolts and replace my rusty nuts! [ ] Cheers, Mark

POST 2Original post

Genuine Porsche 5mm spacer kit including locking bolts are available from Carnewal http://69.74.45.24/main.htm for 285Euros, which may be better price than your PC. As for improving understeer, not so sure.

POST 3Original post

To be honest, you could be better off to buy the 5mm spacer kits here. Don't forget its Gert's price, plus 21% VAT + postage! Just a thought! Try firms like Porscheshop,Design911 & Jasmine etc..............................

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you pop them just on the back or both back and front?? Not sure myself....

POST 5Original post

Just advertised some 5mm spacers on ebay, 5x130 offset had them made by a spacer company but they were not needed Item number: 320142053823 ebay
