Porsche 911 platform build guide · 996 · 997 · 991 · 992 · 1999–2026

The Porsche 911 build guide. Staged the right way.

Four generations, one idea: an engine hung out past the rear axle and a chassis that rewards the driver who sets it up properly. Whether you have a 996 that needs its IMS-era bones sorted, a 997 you want to sharpen, a 991 or a 992 you want to stop and turn better on lap eight, this is our opinionated stage 1, 2 and 3 parts list: real parts we stock, chosen to work together, installed and aligned in-house in Coral Springs.

Stage 1 · 911 stage 1 parts list

The daily-plus foundation.

Stage 1 on a 911 is about fixing what Porsche left on the table without touching the calibration: sport springs that close the fender gap and work with PASM, a street pad with real bite from cold, stainless lines for a firmer pedal, and an intake that lets you hear the flat-six work. Everything here carries forward to stage 2 instead of getting replaced by it.

Stage 2 · 911 chassis parts list

Sharpen the chassis, in the right order.

A rear-engined car is decided by its suspension geometry. Our 911 stage 2 is a sway bar kit that dials out the push a stock Carrera ships with, adjustable arms and drop links that let us actually set the alignment we want on a lowered car, and a Bilstein B12 or B16 package for owners who want damping to match the springs. Full exhaust systems and headers for the 911 aren’t in our online catalog beyond the 991; we source and install them, so tell us the car and we’ll quote the complete package.

Stage 3 · track prep parts list

Track prep: control before power.

A 911 is quick out of any corner. What decides your track day is whether it stops and turns on lap eight the way it did on lap one, with the engine hanging out back and Florida heat in the brakes. Our stage 3 list is coilovers that keep PASM alive, two-piece racing rotors, a real track pad, and CSF radiators for the cars that run hot in traffic. Turbo hardware and big-power work beyond this is a custom conversation with the shop.

Show & stance

Fitment that photographs as well as it drives.

Every water-cooled 911 runs 5x130 with a 71.6mm bore, which opens the door to BBS, RAYS, Advan and the rest of the premium catalog in the 19in and 20in staggered sizes the car wears best. We spec wheels, tires, drop and alignment as one package, mounted on scratch-free equipment and Road Force balanced in-house, with the offset done right so the rear arches fill without rubbing under compression.

  • Wheel and tire packages spec’d for 5x130 911 fitments
  • Sport springs or coilovers matched to the wheel setup, PASM kept working
  • Hunter Road Force balancing and expert alignment
  • TPMS sensors in stock, cloned to your car

Installed in-house

Parts are half the build. Installation is the other half.

Everything on this page can be installed, set up and aligned in our own shop. Coilovers go in with the ride height corner-weighted and PASM either kept alive with the right cancellation module or retained by design, pads and rotors get bedded properly, and every suspension change ends on our Hunter alignment system so the car drives the way the parts list promised instead of wandering under braking.

  • Lift work, brake and suspension installs done in-house
  • PASM and front-axle-lift aware setups, no warning lights
  • Hunter alignment with corner weighting for lowered and coilover cars
  • Road-checked before the car goes back to you

Sourcing the parts the catalog doesn’t show

Full exhaust systems for the 996 and 997, headers, IMS bearing solutions and ECU calibration are things we source and install for 911 customers directly rather than list online. If your plan needs them, send the car details below and we’ll quote the complete package with installation.

Talk to the shop

Tell us the car and the outcome.

Send the generation and trim, what’s already done to the car, and which path above fits how you drive. We’ll come back with a concrete parts list and installation plan, in the right order for your budget.

  • 996, 997, 991 or 992 — Carrera, S, 4S, GTS, Turbo or GT
  • PASM, PDCC or front-axle lift, or not
  • Current mods, if any
  • Daily+, street performance, track or show

911 questions

Before you order parts.

Will lowering springs or coilovers break PASM?

Not if they are chosen for it. The springs and coilovers on this page are the PASM-compatible versions, and for cars where a conventional coilover replaces the electronic dampers we fit KW’s cancellation module so there are no warning lights. Tell us whether your car has PASM, PDCC or the front-axle lift and we’ll map the list to it.

Do the 996, 997, 991 and 992 share parts?

Some. The 996 and 997 share much of their suspension and brake hardware, and the 991 and 992 share a lot of brake fitments, but springs, bars and coilovers are generation-specific. Our lists call out which cars each part fits; send us your exact car and we’ll confirm before anything is ordered.

Do I need a tune for stage 1?

No. Our 911 stage 1 list is springs, pads, lines and intake — all of it works on the stock calibration, and none of it gets thrown away when you move to stage 2 later.

What about exhaust, headers and the IMS bearing?

We install all of it, but most 911 exhaust systems and IMS solutions aren’t listed in our online catalog. They are shop-quoted parts: send the car details and we’ll price the complete package with installation.

Can you install and align everything here?

Yes. Every part on this page can be installed in our Coral Springs shop, and suspension work is finished on our Hunter alignment system with corner weighting when the car calls for it. We serve enthusiasts across South Florida, from Boca Raton and Parkland to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

911 parts

Which 911 are you building?

Our catalog lists 911 fitment by model year, so Carrera, S, 4S, GTS and Turbo parts appear together for your generation — check each product’s fitment notes for trim-specific pieces. Set your exact year in the catalog to narrow further.
