997 Parts suppliers

[Belle427]

Just wondered where you guys that maintain your own cars get your parts.
Just starting some research into maybe buying a 997 next year and weighing up parts prices etc.
I hate using Euro car parts as the pre sale prices are ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

Carparts4less.co.uk is an online subsidiary of ECP, who also run discounts most of the time. I've used them before, service was OK, but delivery was disorganised and didn't arrive in the timescale I'd paid for. The prices were good tho'. By comparison, I find the service at ECP very good. I imagine their book prices are relatively high so that they can offer 'impressive' discounts.

For my 996 I’ve mainly used Heritage, Porscheshop and design911. Also, dont exclude OPC’s - for some items not much in it price wise and you do get discount via PCGB membership.

Always research the job you are doing on the forums for hints & tips eg someone recommended Autodoc in Germany for my suspension top mounts as their Sachs ones were OEM with the porsche part number ground off for 1/4 of the price incl shipping to the UK.

I’ve done lots of work on mine and no different to any other car really.

Design 911 are reliable and good value overall. ECP when it’s sale time too.

Design 911 looks very good, surprised by how reasonable the brake discs/pads are.
Thought these would be very expensive.

TBH I had minor issues with parts supplied by Design911 and Porscheshop both resolved to my satisfaction. At the time Porscheshop were the only place that had the suspension kit I wanted at a reasonable price.

Frazerpart, rosepassion very good.
OPC is good for 10% discount just for asking nicely.
D911 are fast but pricey.
