Hi all,
I am wondering if turbo suspension can fit onto Carrera S?
I'm looking for a set of aftermarket suspension but they only made them in Turbo version.

Did some research but only able to find information on GT3 suspension into Carrera S.

Mine is 2006 Carrera S Cab

Thank you

 

Can probably make it work if you do something like monoball top mounts from Tarett Engineering. Spring rates wint be optimal though as the turbo suspension is setup to deal with the extra front weight of the AWD system and components.

 

Thank you for your reply.

I should provide more specific details of what I’m trying to achieve.

Basically I want to install air bag suspension to my Cab .1 Carrera S due to a very steep driveway. Atm I’m scraping my exhaust tip every time😓

However the only kit I found are for Turbo AWD model.

therefore I’m wondering if all the mounting points, brake line bracket, or sensor brackets are the same.

should have provide more details at the first post, my apologies.

 

Ah, so more than just a noselift kit if it's the rear you're scraping. With the Tarett monoballs you should be able to make that work as they're compatible will all 997 suspensions. I used them on my C2S when fitting B16s and a cargraphic AirLift from a GT3 along with the full RSS suspension suite.

 

Yes I will need both front and back.

so without using the Tarett monoballs, will the suspension bolt straight on to the Carrera S? Both front and rear.

since they are built for the turbo model, I was hoping that I can do a straight installation so I don’t lack around the airbag setup 😅

 

May depend on what's included in your airbag kit, but most likely not. The top mounts are different between the RWD, AWD, and GT car variants - see the image below from my cargraphic AirLift brochure that shows the differences in how the suspension mounts to the different cars. Looks like the shock geometry is different on the AWD Turbo probably to account for the additional FWD components. Got coilovers the spring diameters are different too - not sure how that will translate on an air suspension setup. The Tarett monoballs work with all 3 and why I suggested that may be the piece that allows you to do what you're trying to with mixing parts from one model to another.
