Bring Back the Classic 996’s Sharp Feel and Cornering Limit
As the landmark water-cooled legend in Porsche history, the Porsche 911 (996) and its rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive (RR) lineage place extremely high demands on the stability and precision of the rear suspension. Over time, aging chassis rubber bushings and worn control arms are often what rob this classic sports car of its sharp road feel and cornering limit.
As CTE, European chassis technology specialists, we understand how obsessive classic Porsche owners are about driving quality. That is why we offer a complete chassis solution made of OEM-specification replacement parts, helping your car return to peak form.
