Just bought a set of the upgraded 968 types from the dealer and they had one of those made in Italy stickers on them .

Ordered one of the e-bay sets and they are absolutely the same for 1/2 price.

And the 968 eccentric bolts come with serrations to keep you settiing after you tighten the nut--another worthwhile upgrade.

 

You might take a long look at the ones you have. If they are original they are good and old. When I replaced mine they were visibly worn.

 

Real 968 blocks are much better. If you aren't going to add larger wheels, then wait to buy 968 blocks, until your current blocks are worn out. If you are running 17 or 18 inch wheels, you should go ahead and upgrade to the 968 blocks.
In any case, the 968 blocks a much better.

 

That's pretty common. There are a couple of reliable ebay sellers of 968 blocks. I've bought two, and they were exactly the same as factory, for significantly less money. Porsche doen't actually manufacture them anymore.

 

Care to share the names of those sellers??

price is each

 

It's also worth noting that if you replace the stock 16" wheels with anything larger, the rubber bushings in the stock 951 caster blocks will fail and blow out. BTDT.

 

While we're on the subject, i keep hearing about how Porsche recommended a few upgrades if running 17's or larger. So the 968 blocks are one thing, what else is there? (Sorry, i'm sure this is a common question, but i searched a little and couldn't quite hit on the right search terms).
