Porsche 924 & 944 Safari front-axle lift kit 30/40 mm
OFF ROAD USE ONLY !
This Safari lift kit raises the front end of a Porsche 924 or Porsche 944 by 30 mm or 40 mm.
The solid spacers are mounted on top of the strut top mounts. The kit is supplied with special extension bolts. This means you do not need to grind down the original top-mount bolts, as shown in some YouTube videos. This makes installation easier and allows the car to be easily returned to its original ride height later.
The kit also includes two spacers for the stabilizer bar, preventing the stabilizer bar from contacting the control arm.
Extremely strong, yet manufactured using 3D-printing technology. 100% solid carbon-reinforced plastic. Tested with 6 tons of press force without any damage. Never rusts.

Replaces part number
This product is a modification kit and does not replace an original Porsche part number.
Important fitment information
The spacers are installed at the upper mounting points of the front struts.
With this kit, you do not need to grind down the original mounting bolts. Eight special extension bolts are included for installing the spacers.
This preserves the original construction and makes it easier to return the car to the standard configuration later.
The kit also includes two stabilizer bar spacers and four longer mounting bolts.
Rear lift
The rear of the Porsche 924 and 944 can be raised by approximately 15 mm using the standard control-arm adjustment.
If you want to raise the rear further, shock absorbers with helper springs or coilovers can be used. GAZ and KW, among others, supply suitable systems for this purpose.
The final front and rear ride heights should be balanced against each other.
