Suspension Lift and subframe drop kit.
Set of 4 lift spacers (2 x ft / 2 x Rr)

Fits:

Porsche 996 Carrera 2 - 1997 - 2005
Porsche 996 Carrera 4 - 1997 to 2005
Porsche 996 C4S / turbo - 1997 to 2005

2” lift kit with subframe drop kit for Porsche 996 

Introducing the 996 Bolt-On Lift Kit, compatible with the C2, C4, and Turbo chassis. This kit mounts directly onto the top of the struts in conjunction with our subframe drop system, providing approximately 2 inches of additional lift. This enhancement improves ground clearance while preserving the vehicle's original ride quality.

The kit is engineered to work seamlessly with both OEM struts and aftermarket coilovers. The front upper mounts are designed as a two-piece system to facilitate camber adjustments when necessary. Additionally, while the OEM strut towers permit minor adjustments, our mounts are specifically designed to allow for increased negative camber if required.

Subframe drop kit
When lifting a 996 chassis, the extra height required for taller tires will increase axle geometry. Adding a subframe drop will improve axle performance and longevity. It will also allow for more suspension travel and relocate control arms for better geometry. 

Designed for Porsche 996 Overland/Safari projects. 

Spacers are CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum then gray anodized for protection. 

Hardware is 10.9-12.9 custom built from scratch. No universal threaded rod. All zinc coated for lifetime of corrosion resistance. 

Kit Includes:
2 x Front Lift Spacers
2 x Rear Lift Spacers
18 x Subframe Spacers ( 4 sizes)

About Conversions & Backdate Kits

Premium Conversions & Backdate Kits for Classic-Inspired Exterior Styling

Conversions and backdate kits are designed for enthusiasts who want to transform their vehicle’s exterior into a timeless, retro-inspired classic style. These kits typically include panels, bumpers, spoilers, arches, trims and body components engineered to emulate earlier generations while delivering improved fitment, durability and road presence. Whether you’re restoring a classic, modernising a daily driver or building a unique custom project, conversions and backdate kits provide a dramatic and highly personalised styling upgrade.

What Conversions & Backdate Kits Do

Conversions and backdate kits are crafted to enhance or completely reshape the exterior look of the vehicle.

Their primary functions include:

  • Transforming modern bodylines into classic or heritage-inspired styling
  • Replacing heavier or aged panels with lightweight alternatives
  • Updating bumpers, arches, valances and spoilers for improved visual impact
  • Enhancing aerodynamics with more streamlined or performance-focused designs
  • Allowing customisation to suit personal builds, restorations or themed projects
  • Providing a complete styling solution that maintains alignment and panel fitment standards

They help achieve a unique, cohesive body transformation without requiring bespoke fabrication work.

Why Conversions & Backdate Components Commonly Fail

Exterior styling components endure constant exposure to the elements, vibration and road debris.

Over time, original or ageing parts can fail due to:

  • UV fading, cracking or peeling of older exterior panels
  • Corrosion or rust in metal elements
  • Impact damage from stones, debris or minor collisions
  • Warping or distortion from temperature changes
  • Poor alignment or sagging due to weakened mounting points
  • Degraded plastics, fibreglass or composites losing structural integrity

Backdate kits may also be needed when original panels become unavailable or too costly to repair.

Why You Should Replace or Upgrade to a Conversion / Backdate Kit

Upgrading to a conversion or backdate kit ensures your exterior styling is refreshed, cohesive and built with high-quality, precision-made components engineered to deliver lasting performance.

Benefits include:

  • Restoring a clean, classic or performance-inspired look
  • Upgrading materials for better durability and impact resistance
  • Improving panel alignment and fit compared to ageing components
  • Enhancing aerodynamics for high-speed stability
  • Personalising your vehicle with a timeless design
  • Increasing overall visual appeal and potential resale value

A well-designed backdate kit not only upgrades aesthetics but also rejuvenates exterior integrity across multiple panels.
