928 12-way coilovers, 355mm brakes :)
Been working on these two items for a long time..may possibly be available through Pelican Part's site depending on demand of course.
Custom Brembo 355mm 2-pc full floating rotor set, reuses existing S4 or Big red/Black caliper. Looking to price at ~$1400 set for as-shown using RacingBrake rings per set or $1800 using Brembo 355mm rings. (rears are in the works too) 12-way externally adjustable (settings) coil overs, infinitely adjustable ride height settings, solid non-rubber mounts: no more settling, no more alignment issues (with settling). Street & track spring options. Looking to price at ~$1300/set.

Yes, it is true...
|
Thank you...
Coilovers for the 928 - very sexy. Will these be available for the OB i.e. 1979?
I am interested. Also, what spring rates will be available? subscribed.....

nice. Is there a noticable increase in stopping power? Have you experimented with wheel fitment? What's the min. wheel diameter that will fit over them?

14" aka 355mm front brakes require 18" wheels.
Coilovers fit all 928's. Spring rates vary, I'm testing the 450# units where the stick are rumored to be about 300ft, 200rr. |

All 928's have coil overs... Late model are adjustable for ride height...I don't know about the OB cars on the ride height issue... I know the S4's are easy to adjust up or down.
Cool set up Mark! Can't wait to see it live and in person on the race car! |

The settling problem that you refer to Mark is more to do with the upper and lower a-arm bushings.
You will still need to settle the suspension some. |

From all my koni/Bilstein changeouts, I've noticed it on the upper spring perches more than anything else. Even my 12k mile 928 (at the time) had settling issues as the upper perches compress over time. On my race car the the Porschesolutions coilovers, when you lower the car and the tires spread evenly, that's the height you get, so it's not the a-arms which on that car are original & have 100k on the bushings. If I do the same thing on my turbo 928 with 22k miles, it takes 10-20 miles to settle fully, then settles another 1/4" or so the next week.
I'm sure the A-arms play a part, but it appears the upper perches are the main issue, which is why I replaced them entirely & went solid.
