TracTive Suspension

TracTive Touring Line Plug & Play Electronic Suspension Kit - for cars with PASM

Upgrade the handling, stability and ride comfort of your Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 or Carrera 2S with the TracTive Touring Line electronically adjustable suspension kit.

Fits:

• Porsche 997 MK1 Carrera 2 3.6L 2005-08
• Porsche 997 MK1 Carrera 2S 3.8L 2005-08

Designed for road-focused driving, this suspension system combines electronically controlled damping with adjustable ride height, delivering improved body control without sacrificing everyday comfort.

The kit uses TracTive's patented Dynamic Damping Adjustment (DDA) technology, allowing the dampers to react to changing driving conditions in just 6–10 milliseconds.

IMPORTANT – Additional DSC Controller and Accelerometer Required

Due to the early-generation PASM system fitted to the Porsche 997.1, this TracTive suspension kit requires an additional DSC suspension controller and accelerometer to operate correctly.

These components must be sourced separately before installation.

DSC suspension controller – required, not included Accelerometer – required, not included either component is available from Design911 Both components must be obtained independently

Although described as Plug & Play, the suspension kit is not a complete plug-and-play installation on the Porsche 997.1 using only the original PASM controller.

The additional DSC controller and accelerometer are essential requirements and must be factored into the purchase and installation.

Why Upgrade to TracTive Touring Line?

The Touring Line has been developed for drivers who want improved road handling while retaining comfortable everyday driving characteristics.

Benefits include:

• Improved stability and cornering control
• Reduced body roll, pitch and dive
• Electronically adjustable damping
• Greater ride comfort over uneven roads
• Adjustable suspension ride height
• Improved response during spirited driving

How Does It Work?

Each damper incorporates TracTive's DDA electronic valve, which adjusts damping force in approximately 6–10 milliseconds.

This allows the suspension to respond rapidly to changing road conditions, helping maintain vehicle stability and tyre contact.

With the required DSC controller and accelerometer installed, the system can provide the necessary electronic damping control for the early 997.1 PASM application.

Why Choose TracTive?

TracTive develops electronically adjustable suspension systems using advanced damping technology.

The Touring Line offers an upgrade over ageing original PASM dampers, combining modern electronic damping response with adjustable ride height and suspension characteristics tailored for road use.

Installation Notes

The original Porsche suspension top mounts are reused and should be inspected before installation.

A wheel alignment and suspension geometry check are recommended after fitting.

For Porsche 997.1 models, the separately sourced DSC controller and accelerometer must be installed and correctly configured for the suspension to function as intended.

Professional installation by a Porsche suspension specialist is recommended.

TracTive Touring Line Suspension Upgrades for Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 / Carrera 2S

The Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 and Carrera 2S were available with the early Porsche Active Suspension Management system, offering electronically controlled damping.

The TracTive Touring Line electronic suspension kit provides a modern upgrade for these early PASM-equipped vehicles, offering improved damping response, adjustable ride height and enhanced road handling.

Unlike later Porsche PASM systems, the early 997.1 installation requires an additional DSC suspension controller and accelerometer. These must be purchased independently, as Design911 does not supply either component.

TracTive Track Line Plug & Play Electronic Suspension Kit - for cars with PASM

Transform the handling and track performance of your Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 or Carrera 2S with the TracTive Track Line electronically adjustable suspension kit.

Fits:

• Porsche 997 MK1 Carrera 2 3.6L 2005-08
• Porsche 997 MK1 Carrera 2S 3.8L 2005-08

Developed for drivers who regularly enjoy track days while retaining occasional road use, the Track Line delivers precise damping control, improved cornering stability and adjustable ride height.

Featuring TracTive's patented Dynamic Damping Adjustment (DDA) technology, the electronically controlled dampers respond in just 6–10 milliseconds, providing rapid adjustments to changing driving conditions.

IMPORTANT – Additional DSC Controller and Accelerometer Required

Due to the early-generation PASM system fitted to Porsche 997.1 models, this TracTive Track Line suspension kit requires an additional DSC suspension controller and accelerometer.

These components are essential for correct electronic damping operation and must be sourced separately.

• DSC suspension controller – required, not included
• Accelerometer – required, not included
• Both must be purchased independently before installation

Although marketed as Plug & Play, the suspension kit cannot be installed as a complete functioning electronic suspension upgrade on the Porsche 997.1 using only the original PASM controller.

The additional DSC controller and accelerometer are mandatory requirements and must be considered before purchasing this kit.

Why Upgrade to TracTive Track Line?

The Track Line has been engineered for improved handling precision and demanding performance driving.

Benefits include:
Improved cornering stability and body control
Reduced body roll, pitch and dive
Faster electronic damping response
Adjustable ride height Increased suspension feedback and precision
Track-focused damping characteristics
Greater adjustability than the original PASM suspension

How Does It Work?

Each damper incorporates TracTive's DDA electronic valve, capable of adjusting damping force in approximately 6–10 milliseconds.

This allows the suspension to respond rapidly to changing driving conditions, helping maintain tyre contact and vehicle stability.

With the separately sourced DSC controller and accelerometer fitted, the system provides electronically controlled damping suitable for the early Porsche 997.1 PASM platform.

Track Line Technical Features

• TracTive patented DDA electronic damping valves
• Electronic damping adjustment front and rear
• Front piston diameter: 38mm
• Rear piston diameter: 46mm
• Adjustable front top mounts included

Why Choose TracTive?

TracTive develops advanced suspension technology for road, track and motorsport applications.

The Track Line uses competition-derived damper construction and electronically adjustable damping to provide greater handling control and flexibility than the ageing original PASM suspension.

Installation Notes

The supplied front adjustable top mounts and rear fixed top mounts replace the corresponding original mounting arrangement.

Professional installation, suspension geometry adjustment and corner-weight setup are recommended.

For Porsche 997.1 vehicles, the separately sourced DSC suspension controller and accelerometer must be installed and configured correctly before the electronic damping system can operate as intended.

TracTive Track Line Suspension Upgrades for Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 / Carrera 2S

The Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 and Carrera 2S were available with the early Porsche Active Suspension Management system, providing electronically controlled damping for road and sporting use.

The TracTive Track Line suspension kit upgrades these vehicles with modern DDA electronic dampers, adjustable ride height, performance springs and dedicated suspension top mounts.

Designed for Porsche owners seeking improved track handling without completely sacrificing road usability, the system offers greater damping response and suspension control.
