I think that was Alex? My originals toe arms were genuine Porsche so I can't see an issue with length.
Anyway today I eventually fitted the fully adjustable Toe arms I made up whilst the car was in the air having new wheels fitted (see what did you buy your 996 thread) and it will be in for Geo in the morning so I'll see how they get on, hopefully they can adjust to X74 as I previously wanted.
They do look nice but I'm sure they'll look like the rest of the underside of the car in no time at all.

I've a few lines up at around £230. Is it worth the hassle?

With the car as low as it is, -30mm, I run out of adjustment and as others have explained to me you need more on the toe arm to push out to get the desired amount on the eccentric bolt at the coffin arm. I was wondering how the factory X74 was able to be adjusted correctly if it didn't use different coffin or toe arms, I wonder what is included in an X74 kit if bought from OPC?

I believe the answer is that X74 is -30mm or less and aftermarket -30mm springs are more like -40 or 45mm so it's why you run out of toe.
Pictures of X74 cars look like about -20 or 25mm off standard, aftermarket spring equipped cars look more like gt3 heights, significantly lower than the X74 cars
