NEW! Vorshlag Camber Plates and AST 5100s for Porsche 996!

[Fair!]

We have a new tester with a Porsche 911 (996 chassis) awaiting AST 5200s so we figured we'd better get some camber plates ready. Surprisingly the choices for Porsche camber plates was actually pretty poor... until now.

Front camber plates for Porsche 996 chassis

These are some "generic" plates we built for the WORKS team's 2008 Lancer Ralliart race car being built for NASA/USTCC/SCCA World Challenge. They have fabricated strut towers that these plates below will bolt to:





Both of these options will be on our website for sale soon.

We have put the first AST 5100 set onto a tester's Porsche 911 and worked out all of the questions such as: spring lengths, spring rates, tender springs, optional front end links + brackets, swaybars, and more. The AST 5000 series shock sets are now for sale on our website.

Check out the link on our website above for the optional components. These pictures show some of these details, below:

Initial AST ride heights

The final ride height was considerably lower than the picture above shows. The factory suspension has a bit of a "reverse rake" but the lower, final setup does not - it looks right and handles very well. We've basically quadrupled the spring rates and it rides better than before. Another great AST + Vorshlag suspension solution.
