| Poly-Graphite Front Upper Strut Mount Kit |
As a front suspension flex point, the rubber mount is a critical component in Porsche 911, 912, 914 and 930 suspensions. Original rubber mounts sag over time, so GPR produced an easy-to-install mount kit for replacing old rubber mounts. This kit is perfect for all street and race applications. The bushings are stiffer than original rubber mounts, yet are soft enough for supreme drivability on street and track. Made of a poly-graphite compound, this mount system keeps camber and caster adjustments at maximum specifications. This one-time fix can be installed on both sides within about 40 minutes. No re-alignment is necessary.

Elephant Racing Front Monoball Cartridges |
New from Elephant Racing, This little gem will hold your camber settings lap after lap. If you want to be fast, your suspension pickup points must be rigid to hold suspension geometry in check even under the heaviest corner loads. Pivots points need to be friction free. Heavy corner loads generated by todays stickier tire compounds easily compress and distort rubber bushings making it impossible to hold suspension settings. Camber, caster and toe flop around along with the bushings.
Elephant Racing front monoball cartridges replace the compliant upper strut rubber bushings with hardened-steel precision spherical bearings. Since they cant compress, our monoball hold suspension settings under the heaviest corner loads. Driver feedback becomes precise and positive.
The cartridges are pre-assembled and Install easily into factory camber plates using hand tools. Can be secured with a safety wire. Maintenance free design ensures years of trouble free service. Fits all 914 Front applications. |

Rear Suspension Springs  |
Is your 914 sagging in the rear? Wishing for a lower ride height. Replace your stock springs with heavier springs, and the car will sit lower to the ground in the rear. Combine with adjustable Bilstein Shocks and you can tweak your entire rear end.- 100 lb is the stock settings and will bring your car back to stock height, or higher
- 140 is good upgrade for stiff street driving
- 165 is a great compromise spring for added performance
- 180 is designed for Autocrossing and time trialing
Note that on some of the stiffer springs, they may not be compressed at all when there is no load (car jacked up in the air) on the shocks. This is normal for these higher compression springs. The 165 lb. spring is a non-linear spring. The spring stiffness starts at a lower rate and then increases as a load is applied. |
