Just used this video to change springs on a 992 and here to report that there are very few changes with the new generation. A couple of rear suspension bolts are different sizes and that's it. Thanks for a super useful and informative video!

Great video! I too just bought a T, and I’m in love with it. Just took it for a rip up Angeles Crest to Mt. Wilson. Amazing car even in stock trim. The T really shows how capable a base Carrera is with a few mods (sport suspension, GT4 shifter, GT3 mechanical LSD) and what a wonderful job Porsche did with the 991. I’ve owned and driven a lot of wonderful and fast cars over the years, and how capable this one is yet easy to drive around town amazes me all the time regardless of what I’m doing with it. I was already a subscriber before you got the T and I am really stoked you also got it right at the same time as I got mine so I’ll get to learn the car and watch you experience the same. Thanks for the content, I’m really looking forward to what ever you do next. Think about joining PCA or some other group for a track day 😊 !

I just completed installing H&R Sport springs on my 992 Carrera T and this video was infinitely helpful. Thank you! The main tips being how to easily access the rear struts from inside the car with minimal disassembly required. Also which arms need to be detached in the rear and the trick about screwing the springs out of the front strut towers was priceless. The rear was medium difficulty/frustration whereas the front was an absolute breeze. I'd say each side in front can be done in 10-15 minutes. Thanks again!

That technique of removing the front springs! Genius! Amazing stuff! (never would have thought of that!) So every time I lower a car it ends up rubbing on the rear tires, especially when I have passengers in the back seats. You'll have to do a quick video about that. (the ride quality, rubbing, etc..)

All these cut scenes. So misleading! Very few DIY-ers have those tools. It’s clearly taken 2 hrs for one corner. We charge 2.5 hrs per corner. That includes the NECESSARY alignment after the install. I don’t see an alignment rack in your garage?
@TommyLGarage
@TommyLGarage 2 жыл бұрын
If you charge 2.5 hours per corner you need to find another profession. Front literally takes 15 minus each side minutes alignment.

Don’t believe this man’s lies “two hours” there’s no way, hours of struggle were cut out of this video, notice how the garage is closed so you can’t see the daylight disappearing. Replacing the whole system takes 6 hours minimum and that’s with good tools. Also there is a necessary alignment that has to be done afterwards which adds another few hours to the job. Overall expect 8 to 10 hours spent doing this to completion.

@TommyLGarage 2 жыл бұрын
Stop spreading false rumors to justify overcharging your customers. Front is 15 minutes per side. Rear maybe 20. I showed every single step, which there are few. Alignment is of course on top, but I don’t have an alignment machine. If a shop ever quotes me 10 hours for this I’d ignore everything they told me before or after, since obviously they have no idea what they’re talking about.

@@TommyLGarage what customers, I’ve utilized a shops lift to do this myself. I have specialty tools and I’ve been working on cars for a while and I’m very familiar with the 991.1 and .2. You cut out a lot of the moving and torquing and navigating and pushing and pulling in order to get those struts out of the car. Also those bolts in the rear are single use and if not the bolt, the nut. Overall it takes about and hour to an hour thirty to get a rear apart and back together, and the fronts aren’t much different. On top of that you’ll need an alignment which can take anywhere from two to four hours. So 8 hours for the whole job is totally acceptable.
