More grip, better
tire contact patch
Updates the rear suspension camber
curve to meet the needs of modern, wide, low-profile radial
tires. The result is superior grip in turns, superior grip in straight-line braking,
reduced tire wear. Excellent for both street and
track.
- Improved contact patch in turns
- Improved contact patch for straight-line
braking
- Go street-to-track with one camber setting
- Reduced
tire wear
- Reduced camber thrust/rolling resistance
How does it work?
The 911 suspension was designed in the early
1960s for narrow, high-profile, bias ply tires of the day. '60s bias ply tires did not need
or like a lot of
negative camber.
Fast forward 45 years to 2008 - tire technology
has progressed - we run wide, low-profile, radial tires.
Modern tires need a lot of negative camber to
grip well. No surprise, the 911 suspension
designed nearly 50 years ago doesn't match the needs of modern
tires!
All modern Porsches are designed
with aggressive camber curves matching radial tires needs
beginning with the 1990 911(964) and continuing through the new
2008 911 (997) and Cayman. The ASP updates the early 911
suspension to similarly perform with modern radial tires.
The core problem is illustrated by
the
stock blue 911 pictured, the tires follow the lean of the car in the turn
- causing poor contact as the tires roll over onto the outside edge.
The rate of camber gain is too slow, grip suffers.
ASP makes the tire gain camber
faster as the suspension compresses in turns, countering the
effects of body roll and matching the needs of modern radial
tires. The tire remains square with the
road surface and the contact patch is improved. Grip
increases.
With the ASP '69-'89 911s can now achieve
modern suspension performance.
Setup is fast, easy,
and accurate
Extremely easy to setup toe and static
camber, independently. Replaces the troublesome stock
eccentric adjusters with simple double-adjusters.
ASP allows adjustment with vehicle weight resting on the
tires making it easy to read a camber / toe gauge while turning
the adjuster.
Quick changes can be made trackside
even if a camber gauge is not available.
- Upper and lower double-adjusters
- Rotate same direction to set toe
- Rotate opposite direction to set static
camber
Replaces stock '69-'89 spring plate blade
and spring plate cover. Bolt on - no welding required,
works with torsion bars or coilovers. Use with any standard
size bushing - not included -
PolyBronze
recommended. Requires the splined hub portion from a set of
factory adjustable spring plates or the
