Early Porsche Systems

Air-cooled Porsches have become a popular vehicle in recent times. We’ve worked with the application regularly over the course of our 28 years and counting, and know what it takes to make these cars handle well. Whether you are restoring your Air-Cooled Porsche, have a resto-mod build in the works, or if you race your car, we have a solution for you.

We offer our full range of damper systems for Air-Cooled Porsches and can convert your original spindles or build you new CNC cut spindles, something only MCS can offer. Our dampers have threaded bodies and can be used with or without coil springs and torsion bars. Damper lengths are carefully designed for your vehicle, with consideration of your wheel and tire configuration, ride height, and goals; this ensures you have appropriate bump and droop travel, and not only meet, but exceed your goals.

These systems are available for Porsche 911 G / Porsche 911 (classic), and Porsche 914 models, including but not limited to:

914 (1969–1976)
O, A and B series (1964–1969)
C and D series (1969–1971)
E and F series (1971–1973)
911/911S (1974-77)
911 Carrera (1974-77/1984-89)
911 SC (1978-83)
912 E (1976)
911 Turbo 930 (1974-89)

Strut Options

Most manufacturers produce inserts to use in the original strut bodies, and some higher-end manufacturers (including ourselves) have been re-fabricating the original spindles for use with new strut bodies, a service we still offer today. With the gaining popularity of these cars and the shrinking availability of usable donor spindles, we developed a brand new CNC spindle that we are proud to offer you, something only available by MCS. With either option, you have the ability to specify spindle height, body length, shaft-end pin configuration, camber spec, and add bump-steer correction. With our CNC spindle, you can specify all of the aforementioned as well as specify the brake caliper spacing and spindle thread.

Shock Options

We can build the rear shocks in the original eyelet-to-pin configuration or in an eyelet-to-eyelet configuration for use with a clevis mount. Both options utilize a threaded damper body for use with a coil spring if desired.

Option 1

This damper is built in the original eyelet to pin configuration with the adjuster located at the shaft end, mounted at the upper pickup point.

Option 2

This damper is built in an eyelet to eyelet configuration with the adjuster located at the shaft end. This damper can be mounted inverted or non-inverted and is to be used with a clevis mount.

Damper Systems

We have a broad range of damper systems available, ranging from a single adjustable system, to a triple adjustable system with remote reservoirs. No matter which MCS system you choose, you can expect to achieve faster lap times, better tire wear, and a system that will grow with you as both driver and car progress.

1WNR

Single adjustable non-remote damper

A single-adjustable non-remote damper. Our heavy hitting entry level system.

2WNR

Double adjustable non-remote damper

A double-adjustable damper with a unique adjustment mechanism for easy access and fast changes. Compression and rebound damping are adjusted independently from the shaft-side of the damper.

Monotube Design
14 clicks of high speed compression adjustment
18 clicks of rebound adjustment
22mm strut shafts
16mm shock shafts

2 Way

Double adjustable remote damper

A double-adjustable damper with a remote reservoir increasing compression blowoff capacity and adjustable gas pressure. Effective stroke is increased and valving options are increased.

Monotube Design
18 clicks of high speed compression adjustment
18 clicks of rebound adjustment
22mm strut and shock shafts
Adjustable reservoir nitrogen pressure

3 Way

Triple adjustable remote damper

Sharing components with the 2W system, the 3W system introduces low speed compression bleed allowing the user to manipulate pitch & roll more effectively with fewer compromises.

Monotube Design
18 clicks of high speed compression adjustment
10 clicks of low speed compression adjustment
18 clicks of rebound adjustment
22mm strut and shock shafts
Adjustable reservoir nitrogen pressure

4 Way

Quadruple adjustable remote damper

Our most focused damper with completely independent high speed and low speed circuits for both compression and rebound damping. The operating range is narrowed to allow for more definition across each sweep of adjustments.

18 clicks of high speed compression adjustment
10 clicks of low speed compression adjustment
18 clicks of high speed rebound adjustment
10 clicks of low speed rebound adjustment
