  1. Rear stabilizer is pn 996 333 701 25 -- correct

    rear springs with pn 996 333 531 13 -- maybe correct - these springs were based on VIN

    Front shocks - 996 343 041 16 -- correct replaced by 996 343 041 17

    Front stabilizer - 996 343 701 04 -- correct replaced by 996 343 701 21

    Rear shocks - 996 333 051 13 -- correct replaced by 996 333 051 14

    These are all older revs of parts - were they new?

    Yes, just purchased from private party, still in plastic bags, never installed.

    my vin is WPOCA29931S65XXX

    I'm confused about tha compensation plates, which ones do I need? Also, I didn't get new bump stops, do I need new ones or can I reuse?

    Thanks for all the help

  2. Loren,

    My kit that I bought has the rear springs with pn 996 333 531 13 with a green dab on top and green/yellow on bottom. Also the rear stabilizer is pn 996 333 701 25. I'm stressin' out. Are these correct for a '01 C2 Cab 6/spd? Are the compensator rings supposed to come with the set?

    Thanks,

    Tom

  3. Hello all,

    It is time for the 30k service on my 2001 996 C2 Coupe, and from the reading I have been doing, it looks like I am on the cusp: MY98-01 996's needed to replace spark plugs at 30k, but MY01-04 996's replace plugs every 60k.

    Referring to the owners manual it says 60k. That said, the owners manual also says to change oil every 15k... Yeah, I don't follow those instructions either. I change the oil every 7,500 miles (cheap insurance?) does anyone ACTUALLY do their oil every 15k? :eek:

    My question is this: Should I change the plugs at 30k or hold off? No one likes to throw away money. For a bit of background, I try to track the car at least once a month, she is a daily driver, and is having no problems to date. What do you all think?

    As a side note, I pulled the rear most plug from each bank don't laugh, I had some extra time and I wanted to see if I was up to the DIY (I also had not purchased the new plugs), neither was fouled, but both looked like I might be running a bit lean, ie. the plugs were dry but had a light brown dusty coating to them? Is my diagnosis correct? Second opinion? Or is this normal?

    One more question. I have been trying to find a set of Bosch Platinum +4 plugs for my 3.4L, and I have been coming up empty. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    -Sean

    I just recently replaced mine also @ 30k. I bought them from these guys:
