The PO had done that on my 968 It had a horrible shimmy at high speeds. Even caused him to spend 2 k replacing the abs controller. I bought the car heavily discounted because of shimmy and replaced the rotors , fixing the problem. I didn't know that when I bought it but figured I could fix it for a lot less than the 3 or 4 k he was knocking off the price

Turns out gat wasn't the only bonehead thing he'd done though and I spent 2 or 3 years and quite a few $ getting the car straightened out

It's a great car now though. 20 year old paint starting to show its age but still looks great when it's detailed and handles great
