Yeh the studs are in the same position they area slightly different shape. Only difference seems to be the strut will sit a tiny bit more upright just been on 80 mile drive at so much
Quieter the metal on metal was making everything rattle in the car

I can get two 997 mounts for less then the price of one 996 mount. My concern with using the 997 if the angle is different. Can that put stress on the strut and cause premature failer.
Any one else using the 997awd mounts on a 996awd. ?

Just to clarify, as some people stil dont seem to know. 996C4S mounts are on their own. They only fit a 996C4S. They are only available Genuine Porsche only, no OEM, no aftermarket despite what some posts say on some forums.
Not saying other mounts wont fit, just that C4 & C4S mounts are different as far as Porsche are concerned

The 997 mounts work perfect on my 996 C4 .. C2 are completely different . The only difference i could find was slight castor angle . Still got camber adjust I wanted drives like a dream now. Upto you if you Wana pay full whack go for it. I recon I saved 250 quid result the same .. Regards Rich

I suspect they will also fit a 996C4S, all Im saying is that the C4S has its own mounts and alot of people/venders list the 4WD version as fitting all C4 and turbos.
