Motorsport Precision for the Street and Track
The Porsche 911 (991 chassis, 2013–2019) is already one of the most capable performance cars in the world. Whether you’re piloting a Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, or a Turbo, the balance of power, grip, and refinement makes the 991 a true driver’s car. But as good as the stock suspension is, there’s always more potential hiding beneath the surface.
That’s where the Öhlins Road & Track Coilover System comes in. Developed by one of the most respected names in suspension engineering, these coilovers bring Öhlins’ decades of motorsport experience directly to your Porsche. The result? A suspension upgrade that transforms both street comfort and track performance, giving you precision handling, confidence at the limit, and the ability to fine-tune your ride to your exact preferences.
Why Upgrade Suspension on a Porsche 911?
Porsche invests heavily in suspension engineering, but every factory setup is a compromise.
-
OEM Suspension: Balanced for comfort, safety, and regulatory standards.
-
Aggressive Driving: Push the car harder, and body roll, weight transfer, and damping limitations become noticeable.
-
Track Days: OEM systems often fade with heat, lack adjustability, or can’t keep up with sticky tires and aero mods.
For enthusiasts who daily their 911 but also want to enjoy track days or spirited backroad driving, coilovers like the Öhlins Road & Track system unlock the full potential of the chassis.
The Öhlins Road & Track Advantage
Öhlins isn’t just another aftermarket brand—they’re synonymous with motorsport success, from Formula 1 to WRC. Their Road & Track line brings that same pedigree into a package built for dual-purpose use.
Key Benefits
-
Sharper Responsiveness: More direct connection between driver and road.
-
Improved Grip: Keeps tires planted under acceleration, braking, and cornering.
-
Reduced Body Roll: Stabilizes chassis movement for precision handling.
-
Adjustability: Dial in settings for daily comfort or maximum track performance.
-
Longevity: Built to outlast cheaper coilover systems with consistent performance.
Simply put, you get a suspension system that feels OEM-plus on the street and motorsport-grade on the track.
Features of the 991 Road & Track Coilovers
-
Ride Height Adjustment: Fine-tune stance and corner balance.
-
Adjustable Damping: Independent adjustment lets you control compression and rebound.
-
Motorsport-Derived Technology: Directly based on Öhlins’ racing dampers.
-
Premium Build: High-quality materials, advanced valving, and corrosion-resistant finishes.
-

PDCC Compatibility
If your car is equipped with Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), Öhlins provides separate brackets to ensure integration. This keeps all of your electronic chassis systems functioning seamlessly with the upgraded coilovers.
Why Choose Coilovers Over Springs or OEM Options?
Enthusiasts often ask: why go with coilovers instead of lowering springs or stiffer shocks?
-
Lowering Springs: Inexpensive, but limited adjustability and can upset factory damping balance.
-
Upgraded Shocks: Better than stock, but still limited in height and damping flexibility.
-
Coilovers (Öhlins R&T): Complete system engineered to work together, with ride height, damping, and spring rates designed for performance and adaptability.
For a Porsche, piecemeal solutions don’t do justice to the car. Coilovers are the only way to unlock the true potential of the chassis.
Street vs. Track: The Dual-Purpose Promise
The Öhlins Road & Track system lives up to its name by offering the best of both worlds:
-
Street Driving:
-
Comfortable ride thanks to advanced valving.
-
Handles rough roads and daily commuting without punishing harshness.
-
Maintains refinement expected from a Porsche.
-
-
Track Driving:
-
Firm, responsive setup that resists fade under heat.
-
Sharper turn-in, reduced understeer, and better stability under braking.
-
Easily adjustable to adapt to different track surfaces and conditions.
-
This versatility is what makes Öhlins such a standout—the same coilovers can take you to work on Monday and through apexes on Saturday.
Supporting Mods
While the Öhlins Road & Track Coilover System is a major upgrade on its own, it pairs well with other performance mods:

Stiffer Sway Bars: Further reduce body roll for sharper handling.
-
Upgraded Tires: Let the suspension’s grip improvements shine.
