Agree check my thread I installed the 996 cup ones. I like to beleive they are about 1.6 million times better than the alternatives considering what I paid for them. So please don't brake my bubble. : (

1st thing I did on my '04 996.1 was to install the cup brake ducts and the cup front splitter ... I would install them on the 997 if they fitted properly ... the 997 ducts are puny in comparision!

Come on! The ducts are useful but on a public road you need to be driving at a pace that would warrant very serious attention from the law enforcement at first and from the judiciary after. Would only come in handy if you try to recreate the Ronin chase in one continuous shot.
On the track, yes, they are absolutely essential.

try driving with PASM in sport mode ... if you are compressing the suspension enough to tear off the ducts then maybe you need the suspension to be stiffer ... also you should tie wrap them as suggested
I recall tearing off an entire cup front splitter once while driving my '04 GT3 at 120+ on a Scottish A road ... very impressive to watch the remnants in the rear mirror dance down to road behind me ...

Those 997 ducts are tiny ... so if you are compressing enough that they are contacting the ground and ripping off I would be a little concerned what else was making contact down there ...
