Default Fully adjustable rear shocks in final test.

I wanted to let everyone know that we are in the final test phase (that means I am driving them on my car) for fully adjustable rear shocks for the 911 series cars. This is just a heads up and a question to see if their is any interest in them.

The shocks are aluminum bodied and are fully re-valveable and re-buildable. The rebuild kits are priced very competitive. The manufacturer of the shock is QA1 Motorsports. KLA Industries had badged these shocks because QA1 does not sell these shocks in a bolt on application for Porsche. Due to our buying power we are able to offer this package at less than a person can buy standard shocks of this type from the Manufacturer. We have also engineered the mounting system.

We have spent almost a year looking at different shocks to find the best for the $. These shocks are 12 point adjustable with both the compression and rebound being adjusted from one point. They go from waterbed soft to solid steel rod hard. We spent a lot of time working with the technical department to get this shock set up for both the performance and weight of the 911. I am testing a set on my on my 930 and love them.

These shocks were originally designed for sports car racing. They have a great track record for durability and longevity. These shock types have been successful on cars as heavy as 3800 lbs in a full race prep application. The shocks we are selling are specifically set (valved) for the Porsche 911/930 application.

As of right now the package will be around $500.00 a pair. Let me know if this is of interest to anyone.

Since I am contemplating a new suspension, yes I may be interested.

Ive run those shocks on a few different cars, they are great shocks, and have a lot of adjustment on them. I would like to eventually get something like that

I'll be putting new suspension on my car in the near future so I may be interested. Are the shocks adjustable from inside the car?
