Nitron estimated price is ~$6,500.



Alas, no links, but I'll inquire.

As seen at ERP's Air|Water 2025 booth...



...The upper A-arm mount is pretty slick, but I can't imagine many 993 owners will be cutting up their chassis for it. OTOH, I've driven a 993 with, among other things, ERP's RS uprights, on the road and at the track, and I'd be DELIGHTED to have that setup on a 993, if I can ever afford one. ;-)

ERP upright (a.k.a. legit suspension p0rn) slated for a 964 RS...







Yes, relatively unknown in the Porsche world, especially the air cooled hemisphere. They have had Lotus offerings for a long time, single, double, triple adjustables, etc. I had double adjustable, remote reservoir versions on my Elise track car for 14k miles and 100+ track days. They were excellent, both more comfortable (even with considerably higher rate springs) and provided more body control than the Lotus factory Bilstein Sport package suspension. I did have them rebuilt at that point, but I am totally happy with their performance / longevity, given the severity of my use case.



Yessir. That's a 3D printed item.

Note the silver fitting near the bottom of the body. That's for the double adjustable version's external canister. The single adjustable version will not require a remote reservoir.
yeah, my 993 has the RS/Cup/RSR uprights, Cary's raise the spindle another ~10mm
They had a teething problem w/ the early bearing retainer plate bolts, looks like that has been rectified


right now the MCS look like the best option for a G series 911(even though mine is really an I series), I was just shocked when I ran across the PS10 Bilsteins for G series, in the 964 up world they are a very nice street option, a couple of steps down from MCS
