Do you have wireless harness from the rear trunk? I specifically need two O2 sensor connectors with rubber grommets that fit the trunk floor holes.

Did you open the vent valve at the reservoir and run engine for a while to get trapped air out? I don’t see a need to drain new coolant only to refill.

Completely agreed!
For my 97 with mighty 2.5:), I feel 255 rears are overkill… but if you are to take full advantage of their grip, 225 is the way to go.

Yeah I’m glad that you arrived a logical solution. Replace your 15 year old front tires and you’ll be all set, probably with a bit more ride comfort with fresh rubber.

Mine is a 2.5 too and frankly I feel that 255 rear is overkill, when it is standard size for a 996 with 100 more hp. Stock for 986 was 225 on 16” wheel.

For what you are looking for, I’d say your car is overwheeled, rather than overshocked, try 17” or 16” wheels to increase the sidewall. Also tire brand/ model selection also affect ride comfort.
