Say what? Where did you see this? From my research there is one knuckle for all 958s. I and a few others have put turbo brakes on s model trucks on all corners no problem

I lowered it and the height is perfect just higher than factory. This is only the foglights on. I also moved my front license plate.

By point of comparison I thought I'd show the 'before' and 'after' for my light adjustment adventure. Apparently my cardboard box and flashlight measurement turned out relatively well.

Before, when I wanted to make sure no one saw what I was driving...

After... Which I hope is closer to as designed.

Carrier brakes are not considered McGyvering. Brembo and almost every other aftermarket brake manufacturer uses them all the time for their aftermarket systems.

Rear knuckles are vehicle specific.

If I tried to recreate those awesome shots you'd just see a blob with vaguely yellow coloration at the bottom. Those are great! Nice!

yes I purchased the wheel caps and even the dealer couldn’t tell. I put them on and I didn’t care about the bottom pointing to the valve stem and they told me the other dealer didn’t install them correctly.

My center caps kept spinning so I put a little dab of rtv on the inside. That keeps them from spinning and always pointing at the valve stems.

these are extremely tight just like oem and you cannot spin them. I had to pull them off with the tool and align then push hard to get them on

My factory center caps don't spin by hand (requires the tool to move them), but they do spin while driving. RTV coming up!

Interesting. Mine are genuine Porsche and were tight at first. I would look down an the would be out of position after a few drives.

Same here. Just one little dab on the inside will do the trick.

Same here, Doug. One or two of mine spin after the first drive-away when I align them.

Maybe next time you rotate your tires line them up and give them a touch of rtv. And if you ever need to remove the center cap they just pop right out and you can remove the old rtv with your fingernail. We aren't gluing the center cap in we are just stopping it from rotating.
