Love them in my BMW - almost zero dust, great performance. No noise, with ZERO orange goo! Hope the pads for the 996 behave the same.

The dampners are in good condition so ill do some prep and reuse em. Any recommended adhesive?

I reuse mine using this high temp adhesive with success (street use and no tracks)

I can tell you that a bit of orange RTV, even with good prep, didn't hold up to the track. So don't use that.
