Back in 1982, when the Porsche 944 was released for the very first time, this model opened up the possibility for new consumers to enter the Porsche market – put simply, it slimmed down the financial and performance-based divide between the 924 and the 911 SC.

Due to 944 models being a far more accessible Porsche purchase for those on a budget, its popularity has only risen over the past four decades – it has even garnered strong followings in niche street car communities because of its affordability and modification potential.

The Porsche 944 still provides a fantastic entryway into the Porsche World, and, by utilising the plentiful amount of upgrades available to it, this car can make an excellent daily driver for the budding classic car enthusiast, if not just as a showpiece car.

If you’ve just picked up a Porsche 944, or have owned one since it first came off the production line in the 80s, and want to get into modifying it – we recommend starting with suspension upgrades.

Even minor lowerings of your Porsche’s height can provide much rawer handling feel while simultaneously giving you greater control, safety and acceleration.

Upgrading this will ultimately take your driving experience in the Porsche 944 to the next level, introduce some new dynamism to your journeys and provide some necessary protection and comfort – it’s also a great way to get yourself started on your Porsche 944’s modding adventure.

So, without further ado, here are our top picks for Porsche 944 suspension upgrades.
