Elephant Racing Podium Shock Absorbers

Performance suspension damping

Podium™ is our proprietary racing shock line with optional external adjustability.  Podium shocks deliver performance and features not available in any other shock for the early 911.

Pair-Matched Performance -  Podium shocks are hand-built and tested on our shock dyno.  Podium shocks are pair-matched for consistency unrivaled by any mass-produced shock.   Each matched pair is serialized and delivered with the dyno sheets for the actual pair you receive. 

Valving -  Podium is available in a choice of standard core valving levels, each engineered to balance popular torsion bar/spring pairings.  You may also Podium shocks in a package with matched springs/torsion bars.

Quality -  Podium is a blend of Elephant Racing developed components combined with proven durable components from Bilstein.   You can even send your Bilstein shocks to us for conversion to Podium specs.

Purpose-Made Fitment -  Unlike generic "race" shocks that mount using upper and lower rodends, Podium is purpose-made for 911 fitment.   Rear shocks have a correct stud-mount top for installation without clevis adaptors.   Front inserts are available for standard Bilstein and Boge struts.   All adjuster knobs and nitrogen gas charge valves are positioned for easy access - without removing the shock. 

Podium shocks are fully re-buildable, re-valvable, and servicable at Elephant Racing.

Podium is available in three series;   Street, Track, and Race

Podium Street Series

The choice for street offers outstanding performance with zero-maintenance.

Pair-Matched - Hand selected pairs ensure matching performance.

Adjustability Option - Rear shocks are available in fixed and single adjustable (rebound) configurations.  Front inserts are fixed.

Valving Options - Choose from 5 standard core valving levels, or have us custom engineer valving for you.

Coilover capable- Convert to coilover using our threaded body kits.
