NITRON NTR-R3 COILOVER KIT W/ STANDALONE FAL FOR 996 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4, CARRERA 4S, TURBO, AND TURBO S [NTCPO027R3+FAL]

Nitron NTR-R3 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for 996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S
The 996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S share a platform with genuine performance capability, and the factory suspension, while capable, leaves real performance on the table when the driving gets serious. The Nitron NTR-R3 coilover kit, supplied here with Nitron’s Standalone Front Axle Lift system, is built for that level of development work; independent 3-way damping adjustment with separate high and low speed compression control gives drivers and engineers the range needed to properly dial the car in across different circuits and conditions. A large diameter piston and ultra-strong piston rod sit at the core of the design, providing the damping control and feedback that serious setups depend on. Droplinks are included so the installation is complete without sourcing additional hardware. Both front and rear units use hose mounted reservoirs with quick-release dry-breaks fitted at both ends, keeping high and low speed compression adjustment accessible without adding complexity to the installation. The included FAL addresses the practical challenge of running a lowered 996 on public roads, raising the front axle 25mm at the shock to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without affecting the suspension setup or how the car drives once conditions return to normal. The R3 is a proven race winner with lap records across a wide range of international motorsport formulas, and every kit is custom built, custom sprung, and fully serviceable.
The Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)
- Running a lowered 996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Turbo, or Turbo S on the road comes with a familiar set of frustrations; steep driveways, speed bumps, and parking lot ramps that sit just low enough to make every approach a calculation. The Nitron Standalone Front Axle Lift system is built around that specific problem. With 25mm of lift available at the front axle, it clears the obstacles that lowered ride heights make problematic without requiring any changes to the suspension setup and without affecting how the car performs once you’re back on the road or circuit. It’s a practical addition to a performance suspension package, not a compromise of one.
- 250W pump
- 25mm lift height
- Typical lift time under 3-seconds
- Audible in-cabin warning system
- Switch with built-in warning light
- Auto off function
- Protects your car from damage caused by steep driveways and speed bumps
- Compatible with a wide range of suspension setups
Unique Technology
- Nitron builds every shock from precision components that go through a thorough design and development process long before final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the flexibility to approach each application on its own terms without cutting corners on part quality or how components perform together under load. Everything is machined to tight tolerances and inspected individually by trained technicians; that quality control runs through every stage of production rather than being concentrated at the end. New materials, finishes, and processes are validated extensively before adoption, with proprietary Nitron technologies integrated throughout to produce shocks that consistently hold up against the competition on road and track. That engineering standard is what the brand has been built on since 1998.
Bespoke Engineering
- Nitron doesn’t adapt a generic damper to fit the 996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S; they engineer one around each variant. Every application goes through a dedicated development process where components, spring rates, and damping characteristics are determined by the specific platform, not borrowed from something close enough. The geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel of each model are part of the design from the beginning, not corrections introduced later. That’s the difference between suspension that works with a car and suspension that was developed for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the R3 be used as a starting point for circuit development and then refined over time, or does it require a fully developed setup from day one? The R3 is built around the idea that setup development is an ongoing process. Every kit is custom sprung to order, and the three independent adjustment circuits give you the range to start from a road-biased baseline and progressively refine the setup as you learn the car across different circuits and conditions. You’re not locked into a fixed position from the start.
- Is the FAL system compatible with the coilover setup regardless of how aggressive the ride height is set? Yes. The FAL operates independently of the damper setup and works within the suspension travel available at whatever ride height the car is running. It is not limited to a specific height range within the coilover’s adjustment and does not interact with spring rates or valving in any way.
About Nitron Suspension
Nitron Suspension has been at the forefront of precision suspension engineering since 1998, founded by Guy Evans with the goal of building high-performance shocks for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Over 200 dealers now carry Nitron products across Europe, Asia, the US, Australasia, and Africa. In 2008, the company moved into a dedicated facility in the UK’s Motorsport Valley, adding dynamometers, 5-axis CNC machines, and 3D CAD capabilities to support both growing demand and continued product development. A second expansion came in 2023 with a new office in Murrieta, California. The team behind every Nitron product draws from deep backgrounds in machining, materials technology, hydraulics, bike engineering, and F1 racing, with many engineers bringing firsthand experience as competitive drivers and riders. That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.
