Default Air jack system for RS?

I wonder if anyone has information on installing a Porsche air jack system on a RS and what is all involved in that and in installing cup car quick change hubs. I thank you for any information.

Too much work, go buy a cup car!!

Go on 964 forum and ask Geoffrey or do a search on "race car project". He did a step by step on building it.

Jim, there are numerous Cup cars available these days for pretty reasonable prices....don't hack up your RS. Buy a cup. You wont be dissappointed.

you can install air jacks.
very involved and very $$.
but if you dont have race team or shop support, you are just asking for trouble. why would you want to constantly fill up nitrogen tanks to operate the jacks?

What did you think? That you could just tuck tape them on!! If 3 little piston can raise the entire car, they have to be part of the structure.

also they are prone to bending - the pits at Indy are a prime example
