Rev Auto Club carries performance and OEM-quality parts for the Porsche 911 996 and 997 generations — the water-cooled 911 variants produced from 1999 through 2012. These platforms remain among the most driven and modified 911s in the community, with a well-developed aftermarket for suspension, brakes, exhaust, and engine components.
996 Reliability — IMS Bearing
The 996 Carrera, particularly early 3.4L versions, is known for the Intermediate Shaft Bearing (IMS) failure mode. If your 996 hasn't had this addressed, the IMS retrofit — combined with an RMS seal replacement — is the most important reliability upgrade you can perform. Our team can advise on sourcing and installation.
Suspension
Öhlins and Bilstein coilovers are popular upgrades for both 996 and 997. H&R lowering springs provide a conservative drop for street use. The 997 GT3 chassis benefits particularly from suspension refinement for track use.
Exhaust Systems
The 997's naturally aspirated flat-six produces one of the best exhaust notes in the Porsche lineup. Akrapovic and other premium brands manufacture slip-on and full systems for the 996 and 997 in stainless and titanium configurations.
Brakes
Ferodo and Hawk brake pads are popular for 996 and 997 track day use. SHW Performance rotors provide a lightweight replacement for worn factory rotors, with significant unsprung weight savings on the 997 platform.
