If you haven't replaced the #8's yet, you probably will want to... they are probably creating a rattling sound when you go over tar strips or brick roadways. I've replaced 2 of my #9's. I bought a #17 by mistake (sitting on the shelf now in case I need it in the future).

I will echo everything steved0x said - TRW are the oem suppliers for these parts, if you buy them as TRW branded they will be identical to the Porsche ones except the little Porsche triangle logo will be dremeled off.

When I replaced the #8's I went with the 987 parts - they look identical except for the cast part number starts with 987. The bushings are supposed to hold up better.

Pay attention to the orientation of the #12 and #18 bolts and try to get them oriented the same way when you put in the new parts. You'll need to get an alignment, but this will get it close until you can get that done.
