Thanxx ECS that is what I was looking for.
I use the original size for the back wheels and I have 10mm spacers at the front at each side. So what size do I need for the back wheels and what for the front ?? And how much would be shipping to germany ??

For the front you would need 57MM and for the rear 45mm length. I put everything in a cart for you, so you can see the cost of shipping and choose the best option for you. To view the lug bolts in the cart Click Here.

I have paid 950 Euro. But it is really a well made product and the material is very good. The fitment is perfect. aditionaly I have mounted the original 996 GT3 lip.
Iam thinking about the lug bolts but the system at the website tells me 65 USD shipping costs. I think that is a little bit too much. I hope the guy from ECS (whats your name anyway ) can give me any kind of discount so I can order these lug bolts from him !!

Today I got a good offer for a Brembo brake with 350x24 mm discs.
The calipers are from a Audi S8 but they fit on the 996 carriers with the Porsche 350x34mm disc.
So looks like I have to pimp my front brake system again

The calipers are 4pistons but much bigger than the original Porsche Caliper...
I will paint the new calipers also in yellow with the Porsche Logo....The brake perfomance is much better with that calipers and the bigger discs...

So I guess this is quite a cheap way to improve the brake perfomance on your 996...I will report here...

Zeljko I apologize for the shipping rates to Germany, but unfortunately, the majority of the cost is taxes and duties that we can't control. Additionally, all of our packages are insured and come with tracking numbers, which adds a bit of cost but makes it much easier for the customers. Some of the cost can be leveraged by ordering more items at the same time, so that shipping costs can be spread out a bit.

Seams ok for the frontbumper, I paid more than that for my oem GT3.... Damn, if I knew this one was avaideble, I would have order one instead!!..

Mm, freight was a bit high to when I orded, but still cheaper than getting them from Europedealer.

Nice with the brakes! Keep us posted!


BTW: How did yu paint the brakcalibers yellow? On the car od did you remove them? What kind of colour did you use? And how did you get the black "porsche"mark there?
