DIY - fitting 996 GT2 rear brake ducts to 996T
After fitting my GT2 fronts a few weeks ago I fitted the rears yesterday. This is what you get in the kit, the part numbers (L&R) are 996 331 127 90 and 996 331 128 90.
I found that the left one was a bit of a battle to fit where as the right one went on really easily. However for both I found that when your wheels fully hang down the end of the spoiler touches on the cross brace under the car:
So I went about filing a scollop out of both so this didn't happen. On the road it wouldn't be an issue, but when you put your car on a 2 post hosit it would stress the plastic and either crack them or pop them off the brackets
You slip them on the arms from the front and once I got them to fit nicely with the suspension hanging down, you slide the bracket on from the back and insert two expanding nuts from the top through the duct and the bracket, and one from the rear.
And then you are done. Whenever I pull my rotors off I will trim the backing plate to allow more air to go directly on to the back of the disc.

So you also fitted rears? Did you have to scallop the rears like I did?

Have you had any issues with these touching speed bumps?
