Improved Handling and Precision
Our Rear Subframe Solid Bushing kit improves handling and precision by providing geometry correction for lowered cars and eliminating deflection. Porsche recognizes these performance benefits and uses a similar solid rear subframe mounting approach on the latest GT3 street and Cup racecars.
Replaces stock rubber bushings in the rear subframe of the Porsche 996 and 997 cars, raising the subframe into the chassis 6.5mm (.25 inch).
Geometry Correction
Lowering the 996/997 provides the benefits of lower center of gravity and improved appearance. Unfortunately lowering also causes the rear suspension members to angle down as the inner links drop with the chassis and the outer links remain at wheel upright height. This downward angle harms performance.
With the suspension members angling up towards the wheel the Roll Center is lowered which causes increased chassis lean, toe and camber curves are shifted and become less optimal, static toe and camber adjustments are shifted often exceeding the range of the stock adjusters.
Our kit raises the rear subframe .25 inches (6.5mm) to help reverse the negative effects of lowering. Suspension member angles are improved and performance is enhanced. Our upper bushing fits inside the subframe, eliminating the entire thickness of the upper rubber bushing for the greatest possible geometry correction achievable from bushings alone.
Eliminate Deflection
Stock rubber bushings compress and deform under heavy cornering, braking, and acceleration loads. The compliant rubber bushings allow the entire rear subframe shift about relative to the chassis. Rear camber and toe settings wander along with the subframe making the car less predictable, less stable in turns.
Our solid bushings replace the compliant rubber and do not deform under cornering loads, keeping the subframe in position and alignment true even under heavy cornering loads. The car becomes more predictable and easier to drive fast.
Build Quality
Each bushing consists of two pieces, an upper plug and lower puck. The plug is machined from solid aluminum with knurled edges for perfect fit.
Lower puck is machined from solid steel with zinc finish for protection.

Porsche Rear Subframe | Design911 Suspension Upgrade Components for Rigidity, Alignment & Handling Precision
The rear subframe is the structural foundation of your Porsche’s suspension and drivetrain assembly. It supports the suspension arms, differential, and other critical components while maintaining precise geometry under high load. A strong, correctly aligned subframe ensures stability, balance, and predictable handling — particularly during hard acceleration and cornering.
At Design911, we supply a comprehensive selection of rear subframes and upgrade components, engineered for precision, strength, and durability. Manufactured from high-tensile steel or lightweight alloy, these subframes provide improved rigidity and reduced flex, ensuring consistent performance in both road and motorsport environments. Whether you’re performing repairs, chassis restoration, or performance upgrades, our rear subframes deliver the structural integrity your Porsche deserves.
What Does the Rear Subframe Do?
The rear subframe acts as a mounting structure that connects the suspension and drivetrain to the vehicle body.
Core Functions:
• Supports rear suspension arms, differential, and drivetrain mounts.
• Maintains accurate suspension geometry under load.
• Distributes forces from cornering, braking, and acceleration.
• Reduces vibration and road harshness through the chassis.
• Improves rigidity and alignment stability for precise handling.
A properly aligned rear subframe keeps your Porsche balanced and composed, ensuring every component performs as designed.
Why Do Rear Subframes Fail or Degrade?
Despite their strength, rear subframes are exposed to high stresses, corrosion, and impact forces — all of which can lead to fatigue or structural weakening.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Corrosion or rust weakening metal integrity.
• Cracks or distortion from high-impact loads or collisions.
• Worn mounting bushes causing excessive movement or noise.
• Metal fatigue from performance or track use.
• Improper alignment or installation after suspension work.
Failure can cause instability, poor alignment, vibration, or uneven tyre wear — all of which compromise your Porsche’s safety and handling.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Rear Subframe?
Replacing or upgrading the rear subframe restores suspension alignment and chassis rigidity. Performance subframes improve geometry retention and reduce flex, offering sharper handling and more predictable performance.
Key Benefits:
• Restores correct alignment and rear suspension stability.
• Increases chassis rigidity for improved feedback.
• Eliminates vibration and rear-end instability.
• Available in performance-engineered and corrosion-resistant finishes.
• Fits Porsche 911, 944, 968, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, and Macan models.
• Perfect for servicing, restorations, or performance suspension builds.
Design911’s Porsche rear subframes deliver precision, strength, and durability — ensuring your Porsche remains responsive, safe, and dynamically balanced.
Highlights
• Premium Porsche rear subframes and upgrade kits.
• Precision-engineered for structural rigidity and alignment accuracy.
• Constructed from high-tensile steel or lightweight alloy.
• Restores handling precision and reduces unwanted flex.
• Ideal for both road and motorsport applications.
