So I get crackin... And notice something on the passenger side that doesn't look quite right. I suppose that counts as a shadetree 'fix'. Guess I'll need one of these bad boys afterall. Long story short, here's what I ended up with: 2 for 2. Car is an '02 with ~54k miles. Just reaplced some worn motor mounts, no idea if the old ones contributed. If anyone's going to be doing coils/plugs any time soon, go ahead and order the brackets! Also, I guess the last person in there to fix the problem went ahead and did the spark plug change. Plugs had no electrode wear, although I'm not sure what old bosch twin tip plugs actually look like. Coils looked great too, but they were the 996 pn. Anyone want some used, but not very used coils and plugs? If it wasn't so much damn work I would have left them in there!
I would like to see more pics of your car with those wheels. I like them but am not sure they would look right to me.

I'll try and get a picture or two next time I wash the car. I'm not in love with them but I do like the fit. They're just victor equipment Zehns in 18". Whatever their porsche fitment is. I'll probably keep them until I can find something like a set of FM5s.
