Lightweight Hollow Rear Torsion Bar – Porsche 911 G50
Transform the handling of your Porsche 911 G50 with these OE
Match Lightweight Hollow Rear Torsion Bars. Engineered for enthusiasts who
demand sharper handling, improved chassis balance and reduced weight, these
premium torsion bars are manufactured from aircraft-grade 4130 chrome
molybdenum steel and precision heat treated to deliver exceptional
strength, durability and consistent spring rates.
Fits:
- Porsche 911 1987-1989 3.2L G50
-
Porsche 911 1978-1989 3.3L Turbo (930)
Designed as a direct replacement for the factory rear
torsion bars, these lightweight hollow bars provide the same or greater
stiffness as comparable solid bars while reducing unsprung weight by up to 3lbs (1.36 kg) per bar. The result is a more responsive suspension, improved
traction and greater driver confidence whether you're driving on the road, fast
road or circuit.
Available in different diameters, these torsion bars allow you to tailor your Porsche's suspension
to suit your driving style and performance goals.
Available Sizes
Choose the torsion bar diameter best suited to your
suspension setup:
Larger diameters increase rear spring rates, improving body
control and reducing chassis roll during aggressive driving.
What Do Rear Torsion Bars Do?
Rear torsion bars are the primary springing component of the
classic Porsche 911 rear suspension.
They are responsible for:
- Supporting
the weight of the rear of the vehicle.
- Controlling
suspension movement.
- Maintaining
correct ride height.
- Reducing
body roll through corners.
- Improving
traction and chassis stability.
- Working
alongside the dampers to control suspension movement.
- Delivering
the balance and handling characteristics the Porsche 911 is renowned for.
Selecting the correct torsion bar size allows the suspension
to be tuned for road, fast road or motorsport applications.
Why Upgrade to Lightweight Hollow Torsion Bars?
These OE Match hollow torsion bars offer significant
advantages over standard solid bars.
Benefits include:
- Up
to 3 lbs (1.36 kg) lighter per bar than equivalent solid torsion bars.
- Reduced
unsprung and rotational mass.
- Faster
suspension response over uneven road surfaces.
- Improved
steering feel and chassis balance.
- Increased
cornering stability.
- More
consistent suspension performance under high loads.
- Superior
fatigue resistance for long service life.
The reduction in suspension weight allows the dampers to
control wheel movement more effectively, resulting in greater grip and improved
ride quality.
Premium Engineering & Construction
Manufactured using premium materials and precision machining
techniques, these are among the highest-quality torsion bars available.
Features include:
- Manufactured
from aircraft-quality 4130 chrome molybdenum steel.
- Heat
treated for maximum strength and long-term reliability.
- Hollow
gun-drilled construction for reduced weight without sacrificing stiffness.
- Centreless
ground to ensure consistent diameter and spring rate.
- Precision-machined
splined ends for an accurate OE-style fit.
- Zinc-plated
finish with plugged ends for outstanding corrosion resistance.
- Precision
engineered for consistent performance and durability.
Every component is manufactured to exacting tolerances to
ensure exceptional quality and repeatable suspension performance.
When Should Rear Torsion Bars Be Upgraded?
Upgrading is recommended when:
- Improving
the handling of your Porsche 911.
- Installing
performance dampers.
- Lowering
the vehicle.
- Rebuilding
the rear suspension.
- Building
a fast road or track-focused car.
- Replacing
tired or corroded factory torsion bars.
- Increasing
grip through wider tyres or suspension upgrades.
- Fine-tuning
chassis balance for motorsport applications.
Replacing torsion bars during a suspension rebuild ensures
all major wear components are renewed at the same time.
