Here at the Design 911 workshop, we have fantastic staff who are constantly working on cars and making sure they are the best they can be. We have a 1983 Porsche 911 that has been completely stripped and will be completely restored in the coming months. There was talk of putting in an electric engine, but this is a difficult process which involves help from a company that specialise in electric cars. This would be a difficult process but we are up for the challenge.

Stripping is actually hard work. With the panel fitting done on our Porsche backdate, it was time to strip everything off he ’93 911. This car had certainly had a life, it had 140,000 miles on the clock and came to us in a dark brown colour. It had clearly been neglected for decades, but we were determined to revamp this car and make it something special. The interior was all split on the seats and it had a damp smell through out the car. You can see in the picture below it completely stripped to its shell ready for us to install the suspension.

In the picture above is the suspension kit we are fitting to this car. As part of our “Classic Range” we are now able to provide a complete set of compression and rebound adjustable shock absorbers for the Porsche 911 G-Series. The suspension kit has a 3.5″ space between the brake calliper mounting points which are for the S type callipers which evidently most G models have. However some earlier cars have the M calliper which will NOT fit this suspension kit

The V3 damper kit’s biggest draws is that it eliminates the need for costly and time consuming strut conversion to front and rear of the 70’s/80’s 911. Instead KW’s adjustable damper package works with the front and rear torsion bars already in situ, allowing G-series owners to take control of their car’s chassis setup. It also replicates one of this particular generation 911’s key suspension traits, namely its threaded wheel carrying ‘knuckles’, and all in galvanised mild steel for a long and durable life.

KW Notes:
-Dampers are adjusted by easily operating adjustment wheels. Rebound is only adjustable if the top of the piston rod is accessible. This will depend on the vehicle construction.
-Damper set incl. knuckle in galvanized steel
