Spacers?

I'm thinking of getting spacers to my 987S, anyone have experiance of that? Do you need to have a new setting. How wide spacers would you recomend?

I would recommend you leave your car exactly as Porsche created it. It ain't broke so don't try and fix it.

Re: Spacers?

I will be getting the Porsche OEM 5mm spacers (2006 tequipment) in the spring, I will let you know how the whole experience pans out. I was told by the dealer that not only do spacers give the car a wider, fatter look, it also slightly improves handling.

Re: Spacers?

Spacers improve the looks of the car and probably do add a little to the handling, but stones, road debris, etc stands a higher chance of being kicked up from the front wheels and scratching, damaging the wider rear fenders (where the intake is).... Also, the Porsche spacers are quite pricey

money spent elsewhere maybe?

Re: Spacers?

I installed 5mm spacers on my 997S and I am very happy with it. The spacers added a touch of aggressivness to the car without noticing any drawbacks, but it is an expencive option. If you want to take a look just follow the link and click on pic 4. I hope it helps.

Re: Spacers?

Spacers are 292.34 from Sunset Porsche (a Porsche dealer in Oregon) www.sunsetimports.com

I do not know how much the labor will cost however...I was thinking of getting this done when I replace the Contis on my car and go Michelin....
