Nitron NTR R1 Coilovers for Porsche 911 GT3 997 (2006-2012) – Combined 2-Way Adjustable Road and Track Coilovers
Nitron NTR R1 coilovers for the Porsche 911 GT3 997 (2006-2012), hand built to order for fast road driving and track days.
The R1 is developed from Nitron's full race suspension and shares many parts with the R3. A single double-acting dial adjusts bump and rebound together, giving quick and easy changes across a wide damping range without needing a remote canister.
The dampers are fade-resistant and hand built with ultra-low friction components. Titanium and hard-anodised parts resist corrosion and keep weight down, and every kit is custom built, sprung and fully serviceable.

Installation
The kit replaces the standard dampers and springs. Set the ride height and preload, let the suspension settle, then recheck the height and have a four-wheel alignment carried out. We recommend professional fitting.
All Nitron shocks are hand made to order. Lead times are normally 2-3 weeks, but can be longer at busy times, so contact us for an up-to-date estimate.
How is the damping adjusted?
A single double-acting dial on each damper adjusts bump and rebound together.
What does the Front Axle Lift do?
It raises the front of the car at the press of a switch to clear speed bumps, ramps and steep driveways. The 250W pump typically lifts in under 3 seconds, with an audible in-cabin warning, a switch with built-in warning light and an auto-off function.
Can I have different spring rates?
Yes. Every kit is built and sprung to order, so contact us before ordering to discuss your spring rates.
Can the dampers be serviced?
Yes. Nitron dampers are fully serviceable, so they can be rebuilt and refreshed rather than replaced.
Do I need a wheel alignment after fitting?
Yes. Changing the suspension and ride height alters the geometry, so a four-wheel alignment should be carried out once the car has settled.
How long will it take to arrive?
All Nitron shocks are hand made to order. Lead times are normally 2-3 weeks, but contact us for an up-to-date estimate.
What warranty is included?
Nitron products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us if you have a problem with your kit.
