Default WTB RS Wheel Carriers

Hoping someone might have an extra set of RS wheel carriers lying around from a tabled or abandoned project. Part Nos. 99334115781 and 99334115881.

Thanks!

Good luck. I have had an order on backorder since last July. There are a few left one's out there, but none for the right side.

They are just under $500 apiece from Sunset when available. Depends on how strong your Rennlist spirit is...

This... Thanks Overboosted, I did reach out to Paragon. But as Paul M. notes, there are no right uprights available. Gert, Elephant Racing, all the same story. I promised myself not to track the car again until the suspension has been replaced. Hoping not to lose the whole season waiting for RS carriers...

did you have noticeable bump steer? I'm still trying to figure what this "bump steer" is in reality. I know the theory but I have yet to experience it. Maybe my car is not low enough.
I don't think you need to put track season on hold for these silly carriers, just keep the stock ones.

Bump steer is noticeable, but I wouldn't side-line the car just for wheel carriers. The whole suspension needs to be refreshed. The paint rubbed right off the fenders last season. I repainted the car last winter (3/4 respray), and don't want to make any repeat trips to the paint shop. I'd like to do all this work at one time with a proper corner balance, so the plan is to wait for the RS wheel carriers.

These are going to be hard to come by. Seems like Porsche is going to price accordingly. I am curious to see if when released they go for 800 a side.

Those of you that are not on the very low side should consider the ERP tie rods and flip the lower ball joint. This is a great solution when set close to ROW height

I managed to score a new set for a friend of mine last week. Hang tight Foxman I have a feeling things will loosen up soon.

Thanks MarinS4,

I'm now waiting on two sets of RS wheel carriers - one for my 993, and one for the new to me 964. It looks like BBI and Neinmeister will both have aftermarket alternatives available this Fall - but this track season is gone. In the meantime, I just put some RE71R's on the 964 and will have at it at the Autocross this weekend at Fort Devens. I'm running on the original 28 year old shocks, so hopefully no fender rubbing as she bobs up and down.

New OEM parts are becoming available again?

I've had a set on order since last August.
Had an update from Porsche 2 days ago, currently forecast to be ready by October...
