Every Porsche 911 is special, but the 964 (1989-1993) is particularly significant, being the first all-wheel-drive 911 produced, thanks to its shared drive system with none other than the legendary 959.
Another element of the 964‘s importance is its ingenious rear suspension system, designed to provide controlled rear toe-altering geometry changes under braking and cornering. Key to this are the semi-flexible suspension spring plates, allowing rotation and yaw to the rear suspension arms.
However, after decades of use, the original steel spring plates can oxidise after years of under-body exposure, and the encapsulated bushes and bearings wear due to split rubber seals and water/dust ingress, leading to unpredictable and imprecise handling.
With original parts long discontinued by Porsche, the current solutions are either expensive spherical jointed, adjustable arms designed for motorsport, upgraded bushes that require labour-intensive fitting into old metal, or aftermarket arms complete with standard bearings that offer no real performance benefit.
Powerflex has the solution: PFR57-107 Rear Suspension Spring Plate – a direct bolt-on replacement that offers the following technical advantages:
This is a true premium upgrade, providing greater chassis control and precision, engineered for high performance and increased durability.
As with our regular suspension bushes, these parts come with our unrivalled Lifetime Warranty for your peace of mind.
Road Series
PLEASE NOTE: You will need 2 to do the job on a single vehicle. These are only sold in multiples of 2.
Powerflex is proud to offer a Lifetime Warranty on the entire range of products that we manufacture.
We have taken this decision because of the confidence that we have in our products and the way that we have handled any warranty issues in the past.
We have never had a time period-based warranty policy because we have always treated issues that customers have had as an opportunity to learn.
Where a problem has occurred due to incorrect fitting, we have always asked ourselves if the reason for the error was due to poor fitting instructions.
When we have had a part failure we have tried to understand if the part was being used outside of its design parameters, perhaps on a race car running slick tyres. In cases like this, should we be offering a specific motorsport compound?
Like all manufacturing, we have had the occasional material quality issue and, in these cases, we have always replaced parts without question.
So now we have decided to formalise our open and honest policy and commit to replacing any Powerflex product that any customer in the world is unhappy with.
The only conditions that we attach to this Warranty are:
All we ask in return is that anyone wanting replacement parts contacts us directly and sends us as much information as possible which will help us determine the reason for a problem.
By purchasing and using Powerflex products, you are agreeing to our Lifetime Warranty terms as set out above.

For all customers outside of the UK, the prices on this website will have 20% UK VAT Tax removed at the point of checkout (once you've entered your billing and shipping addresses).
