RockAuto as of 8am this morning.
Ordered. Will post once received to describe quality and fitment.

Our03z4 · 02-23-2024, 08:05 AM

I order way too much stuff from RockAuto and have never had an issue. My guess is they will fit just fine. Only thing I won't order that is non-BMW is electrical parts / sensors.

Yup, never an issue with RA.
In my experience stamped or moulded parts from any supplier are hit and miss if non OEM.

Right! I just had to buy a non-oem intake for one of my trucks, NLA from Ford and man the fit wasn't great, nothing lined totally up and it was the best you could buy aftermarket.

Having just paid ~$170US per side for my 996, I will be very interested to see how these work out!

Just placed an order, will test it out this weekend by weather permitting

belcom · 03-05-2024, 12:26 PM

Anyone had luck finding the rear ones? I tried but cannot see those.

Steeler · 03-12-2024, 02:27 PM

Recieved these liners folded up in a box.
Which was my first clue that they would not be up to snuff.
Flimsy, which I could live with(kinda).

Fitment was horrible. Few holes lined up and trimming required at lower edge in front of wheel.

I am going to plastic fuse my OEM liners where they are cracked and live with the bit of tire burn through.

I think these would be OK for a track car, if you don't mind a lot of fettling to fit them.
I also think these liners would not be as susceptible to tire damage if the rub is not too severe, due to the amount of flex in them.

Steeler are those the rockauto liners?

Steeler · 03-13-2024, 07:26 AM

Yessir

I wonder if the M liners are any better. Was hoping to install last weekend but weather wasn’t cooperating
