The 1998-2004 Porsche 911 AWD Alpine series is the adjustable suspension system you need to consider if you want to improve handling performance or simply get an aggressive look by lowering the car to reach the fitment and ride height you were always looking for.
Front camber adjustable top mount and gravitational bearing are included on this Alpine series to offer complete adjustability and ensure smooth-running suspension.
The monotube design configuration, added to the completely threaded body result in a fully adjustable long lasting suspension. As the ride height is set by the overall shock length, the spring preload, comfort level and suspension travel remains the same at any ride height setting compared to other suspension where the ride height is set by the spring seat, resulting in reducing the allowed travel as you lower the ride height.
The PS05-AS is offered in only the regular version. This version is the most used and is designed to keep a really close to factory comfort level while improving handling performance. It allow a ride height adjustment from stock to approximately -3 inch. Comfort level is really good for daily use but certainly have to feel a bit sportier to prevent any rubbing issue when lowered. The stiffer spring rate and valving compared to stock suspension give significantly improved handling performance over stock.
This application use a front MacPherson suspension configuration. Camber adjustable plates are included to set the wheel alignment to factory specs after lowering your car.
The rear multilink configuration means that the shock have no direct impact on the wheel alignment. The 911 have some camber and toe adjustment with eccentric bolt but if you significantly lower your car or want more adjustment, fully adjustable rear control arms are offered by different brands.
We can always customize the spring rate and shock length to fit your exact needs on this application.
All our Alpine series use stainless hardware, to ensure the suspension look like new for years, Alpine series specific internal components and fluid and 24 dampening level to fine tune the comfort level/valving efficiency where you want it to be .

I have a 2000 996 C4 and am looking at your Alpine series coilovers.
This is a street only vehicle, what would the benefit of using the Swift spring over your stock Scale spring be?
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out about the Alpine series for your 2000 996 C4.
For a street-only vehicle, the main benefit of upgrading to Swift springs is improved ride quality and consistency rather than added stiffness or performance.
With Swift springs, you can expect a smoother ride for the same spring rate. They tend to feel more compliant over small bumps and sharp impacts, so the car feels less busy on imperfect roads. They also maintain a more consistent spring rate throughout the stroke, which helps the car feel more predictable over larger bumps and transitions. Long term, they typically hold their height and rate very well.
The standard Scale springs are still a great option and are well-matched to the Alpine setup. For most street-driven cars, they provide excellent value and a solid, responsive feel. Many customers are very happy with the standard springs unless they are specifically looking for a more refined, OEM+ type ride.
If you’re looking for the most comfortable and premium street feel possible from a coilover setup, the Swift upgrade is worth considering. If you want a strong street setup at the best price point and don’t mind a slightly firmer, traditional coilover feel, the standard springs will serve you well.
