Avoid Control Arm Failure

For Safari type cars we recommend reinforcing the control arms to help cope with the additional forces that off-road vehicles must deal with. 

These precision cut steel plates and gussets are to be welded at strategic locations to strengthen the factory control arms.

Rear shock tower reinforcement.
Sold per kit, 1 kit required per car.

Fits:
Porsche 911/930 1972-89

✓ Laser Cut – Fits the profile of the shock tower perfectly.
✓ Strong – Solidly ties the towers and cross-member into unibody box sections and inner wheel well. Distributes the shock loads properly and reinforces the entire section.
✓ Holes – Great appearance and convenient routing of hoses and wires.
✓ Weld from one side – Fully seam weld without removing rear firewall.
✓ Light Weight – Properly engineered to distribute loads, not 'over engineered' with excess material and weight.

When converting the 911 torsion bar rear suspension to coilover, the rear shock towers should be reinforced. Coilover springs introduce loads the towers were not designed to handle. Without reinforcement, cracks can develop over time – most frequently between the crossmember and unibody box sections.

Our reinforcement kit strengthens this vulnerable area and properly distributes coilover spring loads.

Rear Shock Tower Reinforcement
Our brackets make it easy to get a professional result, saving you the time and guesswork cutting your own.

This kit requires welding for installation.

Fits:

Repair or prevent spring plate mounts from cracking.

Repair or prevent spring plate mounts from cracking
Spring Plate Mount Reinforcement Panels will help prevent or repair the common problem of cracked spring plate cover mounts resulting from worn, deformed, or stuck bushings in the cover.

Elephant Racing Rear Spring Plate Mount Reinforcement Panels are precision laser-cut and formed panels from 18 gauge steel. These panels distribute the torsion bar and spring plate loads into the torsion tube housing and multi-layer sheet metal just beyond the original mounting boss locations.

Excess heat during the welding process will tend to distort the sheet metal moving the mounting studs out of alignment. The included Mounting Stud Alignment Panel will help maintain their original spacing allowing for much easier reassembly.

At this time, you may also be interested in replacing your bushings or upgrade to Elephant Racing's PolyBronze spring plate bushings.

Please note: Welding is required to install properly

Rennline Strut Tower Brace - RSR Weld On.

Fits:
Porsche 911/912/930

Rennline now offers these mounts for those dedicated to building the ultimate classic 911. These strut tower braces are of similar design to the units we have been offering for years, but take them to a new level of strength and effectiveness.

These braces are precision cut and bent in house, then dimple dyed for the ultimate in strength and rigidity. Once welded to the strut tower, they will not only provide an ideal place for mounting a strut tower brace to but they will increase the strength and rigidity of the entire tower.

The package is rounded out with one of our fully adjustable, spherical end strut bars to bolt between the brackets. Combined, this setup will provide the ultimate in stiffness and performance, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and steering feel under the most stressful of conditions.

NOTE: Brackets require welding to front strut towers.

Thru-body front swaybar reinforcement kit.
Sold per pair, 1 pair req'd per car.

Fits:
Porsche 911/912/930 1965-89

Prevent or repair common failure point.
Elephant Racing Swaybar Mount Reinforcement Panels will help prevent or repair the common problem of cracked swaybar mounts resulting from the application of overly stiff, binding, or incorrectly adjusted aftermarket swaybars.

Elephant Racing Swaybar Mount Reinforcement Panels are precision laser-cut from18 gauge steel. They distribute the swaybar loads into the bulkhead and double-layer sheet metal just beyond the original single-layer hole location.

You may also be interested in an upgrade to Elephant Racing's QuickChange Blade Style Swaybar which mounts to the chassis using spherical bushings that articulate or "float" ensuring no binding. Spherical bushings allow mounts to automatically re-align themselves when the chassis is flexing under load. We believe this binding plays a significant role in the mount's failure.

Installation requires welding
