Engineered for track use, these coilovers feature a 3-way adjustable system that allows precise tuning of rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression. The rebound adjustment offers 12 positions, while the high-speed compression also provides 12 settings, and the low-speed compression has 14 positions. All adjustments are made via external canisters, enabling independent control for optimal handling and stability. Constructed with durable materials, these coilovers deliver superior performance, responsiveness, and durability under demanding conditions, making them ideal for serious track enthusiasts and competitive racing.

Designed to fit 1987-1991 Porsche 944 2.5 S (Type 2) models, these coilovers are a direct upgrade for stock suspension components. They are suitable for track days, racing, or high-performance street driving, offering adjustable ride height and damping characteristics to suit various driving styles and conditions. Installation is a bolt-on process, compatible with the original chassis and suspension mounting points. The kit includes the coilover units with external canisters for compression adjustments, providing comprehensive suspension tuning capabilities. These coilovers are perfect for drivers seeking enhanced handling, reduced body roll, and improved cornering performance on both street and track environments.
