981 spacers - Advice please?

[olliereynolds]

I'm contemplating getting these from Porsche for my 981 with PASM and 20inch wheels. Has anyone done this? If i go with H &R ones instead will it void warranty?

Keen to see some pics if possible.

Thanks

Porsche does not do OEM or T equipment spacers for 981S

They do, just spoke to Porsche Hatfield. They are £265 including normal and locking bolts. They are only 5mm tho.

Re Warranty, been speaking to Porsche Bristol re fitting aftermarket (not OPC) Sports exhaust on my 981 and basically unless you use OPC to fit anything to the car your warranty isn't valid so you would have to go with the £265 you quoted .....£53 per mm seems a bit pricey though !!

I'd like the same on mine and it dropped down a bit as I think the rear sits too high but OPC got you over a barrel and quoting crazy money 8-(

according to T Equipment brochure, it's only for 18" wheels.

EU block exemption makes it illegal not to honor the manufactures warranty, regardless of mods - unless they can prove the mod caused the fault,

obviously come extended warranty time then its a different story

Ah very interesting re the 18s.

I'm guessing 5mm is a waste of time!

Spot on!
It is only extended warranty they can have you, as its an insurance policy, but if your on favourable terms with your OPC they are OK with certain stuff within reason.

As to fitting the spacers, do it, will improve the stance and give a marginal benefit in handling/grip as its effectively widening the track.
