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

I'm after some details of dimensions of 996 and 997 front hubs. I seem to remember the 996.2 gt3rs had quite modified geometry - I'm guessing lowered ball joint position to improve geometry with lower ride height. Obviously finding and purchasing some of these is going to be stupid money. I'm sure I read somewhere that the 997c2s front hubs were of a fairly similar geometry and would be a worthwhile upgrade on a 996. Anyone done any comparison before of know any details?

POST 2Original post

I too would be interested! Thanks for asking the question, I didn't know about this.

The hubs aren't silly money. I bought one side for £150. The other was 750, but fully built m next day another came up for £300! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-...2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
