I need some new shocks for my '73 911 and was told about the Podium Shocks. They look great, modified Bilsteins with single or double adjustable rears which should be all I need.

I currently have custom valved Bilsteins in front and custom valved and modified for single adjustability by Shocktek (out of business) Bilstein in the rears which have worked great for several years.

Any feedback on these or are they too new?

Elephant Racing comes out with some cool stuff. I have to admit that I've never seen the podium shocks before.

I've worked closely with Rich Walton at Jerry Woods Enterprises as he is converting my car to GTS specifications. I'm sure he can help you with what you want. They have plenty of experience with cars of your vintage.

They had them out at the Partsheaven swap meet last month. Gave them a quick lookover, but nothing popped out as "wow" build-wise. My engineer friend who was with me (and who has probably the most 100% correct RS clone on the planet I built for him 20 years ago) concurred.

Performance? Can anyone reinvent the wheel, so to speak, for torsion bar 911's at this time?

What's involved in a conversion to a totally unlimited class?

The POC/PRC GTS class is not an unlimited class. You may be thinking NASA GTS...

Bryan Watts

Good point. I knew PCA lacked a GTS. Didn't think about POC.

Here's a link to the PRC site.

No need to reinvent the wheel. The Bilsteins work fine when properly valved. But the adjustability of the Podium shocks allows getting the valving closer AND changing it for different tracks and weather conditions. Nobody could touch me in the wet when I dialed back my rear shocks and loosened my swaybars. Why spend $7-10K on JRZs when these will work sufficiently for less than half the price?
