Porsche 996 and 997Suspension Upgrades

Whilst the 996 and 997 suspension is undoubtedly great, it is perhaps a little soft for fast road and track use, we have had many years of experience with the Elise suspension and have had great results with Nitron dampers and springs, with nothing but positive feed back from our numerous customers with them fitted. With this in mind we have know hesitation to recommend Nitron to Porsche owners.

One of the great advantages of Nitron is there support and back up service, the performance of all dampers reduces over time, but with Nitron they offer a great after sales service, rebuilding the units as regularly as you might require and a very reasonable cost. It is a first class service, it is often quite difficult to tell the difference between a serviced and a new unit.

NTR Sport - NTCPO010S

The kit comprises four 1-way adjustable dampers with fitted springs.  The single adjuster knob affects both bump and rebound together for simple setup and more road-biased use.  These shocks have no remote reservoir.  Dampers come preset, and with a full set of top plates and bearing spacers they are ready to fit.

NTR Track - NTCPO010T

As its name suggests, this kit is designed for the more circuit-orientated car.  The kit features independent bump and rebound damping adjusters, making it 2-way adjustable for more detailed chassis tuning.  These have remote reservoirs that are piggyback mounted onto the main shock body.  These shocks feature bearing top mounts for optimum feedback and performance.  The kit comes preset, and has springs, bearing spacers and c-spanner all included.

NTR Race - NTCPO010R

This kit is designed for serious race use, and as such incorporates high and low speed bump control valves for further chassis fine tuning.  As with the NTR Track, this 3-way adjustable kit features remote canisters that are piggyback mounted onto the main shock body.  These shocks feature spherical bearing top mounts for optimum feedback and performance.  The kit comes preset, and has springs, bearing spacers and c-spanner all included.

The prices of the kits are as follows:-

NTR Sport - NTCPO010S from £1,245.00

NTR Track - NTCPO010T from £1,955.00

NTR Race - NTCPO010R from £2,255.00

Fitting Charge £ 267.00 (Which includes an inspection of all other suspension components)

Geometry Check & Set Up £120.00

Also available is an Eibach spring upgrade kit for £95, this replaces the standard Nitron springs with Eibach motorsport units. Benefits of this upgrade include weight reduction and lower friction. Customised spring rates of either Nitron or Eibach springs are available at no extra charge if desired.
