Intrax 1K2 Suspension kits for the Porsche 997 2WD Street/Trackday

Setting All shock absorbers that Intrax manufactures are custom-built. This means the shock absorbers will only be manufactured once the specific data of the car (tyre type, use of the car, any adjustments made to the car, etc.) and the driver’s wishes are known. Based on these data, the engineers calculate/design the ideal shock absorber, which will then be manufactured. Adjustable damping Due to the larger diameter of the 1K2’s piston in comparison with the RSA, the adjustment can be even more refined. Unlike many competitors, Intrax deliberately opts for a single knob for the adjustment of the damping. With this single knob, you can adjust the bump (inward stroke) and rebound (outbound stroke) at the same time, in the proper pre-programmed ratio. Thermostat The 1K2 damper is fitted with an internal thermostat. The thermostat keeps the damping constant at varying temperatures. This means the damping and driving behavior remain exactly the same at various operating and ambient temperatures. Large diameters Where possible, the housing of the 1K2 shock absorber is made of high-quality aluminum. This guarantees a low weight, maximum strength and optimal cooling. Whilst designing the 1K2 shock absorber, the largest possible diameter is chosen for even more accurate damping control; usually a 52mm housing with 46mm piston. Where possible, Macpherson struts are fitted as upside-downs with a 45mm (52mm for the XL version) diameter instead of a thin piston rod that is mounted to the chassis OPTIONS ARC x 4 The ideal system for both normal road use and competition use. With the ARC® system, it’s possible to use that slightly softer spring that makes the car more compliant over bumps or curbstones at racetracks, that gives more grip and traction, but which is actually too soft because it generates too much unwanted roll and/or pitch, and which may even lead to the suspension bottoming out over some bumps, potholes or curbstones. Thanks to the fact that ARC® is capable of differentiating between normal bumps and cornering movement, and even between different kinds of bumps, it is possible to choose that softer spring or a softer anti-rollbar. At large bumps or roll or pitch movements, the damping increases immediately, which prevents bottoming and reduces body movement. ARC® does all this without using any complicated and failure-prone electronics. ARC® is a system that interprets the shock travel speed in an intelligent mechanical-hydraulic way and can differentiate its response to different suspension inputs. BLACK TITAN x 4 Black Titan is a development originating from military aviation. They aimed to develop a metal treatment that would make the surfaces of jet engine parts more resistant to the various punishing circumstances to which those engines are exposed (extreme cold and heat, extreme airflow speeds combined with rain, snow, sand et cetera). The result was what we now call Black Titan: a coating that is extremely hard, has very low friction and protects against corrosion. After applying this coating on critical components of the jet turbine engines, the maintenance intervals could be extended with up to 100%, or twice as long. We at Intrax saw the advantages of this material and started applying this wear-resistant coating to the guide and piston rods of our shock absorbers. Black Titan makes them very resistant to corrosion and damage from road dirt, and friction is greatly reduced, which not only improves the functioning and responsiveness of the dampers, but also increases durability.
