XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Porsche 964 CARRERA-2 1991-1994

The 964 Carrera-2 carries its 3.6-litre flat-six behind the rear axle, and on a standing start that rearward mass is exactly what you want sitting over the driven wheels. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover for the Porsche 964 CARRERA-2 is built to exploit that layout, setting the chassis up to plant its rear tyres the instant the clutch comes home rather than lighting them up.

This is a strip-specific kit, not a fast-road setup pressed into duty for the occasional run. It is configured to govern how load moves front to rear during the launch so the rear contact patches take weight quickly and hold it the whole way down the run.

What this coilover does for your 1991-1994 Porsche 964 CARRERA-2

The difference shows up in the first sixty feet. The setup drives weight onto the driven rear wheels at launch, forcing the rear tyres to compress and bite instead of spinning. Less wheel idle off the line means more of the flat-six’s torque reaches the tarmac rather than going up in smoke. As speed climbs, the same settings keep the 964 settled through the traps, where a tail-heavy air-cooled 911 can otherwise feel nervous. What you get is a more repeatable launch and a car that tracks straight when it counts.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ Racing developed this coilover specifically for 0 to 400 metre drag work, with setups covering front-, rear- and four-wheel-drive cars. The governing idea is control over front-to-rear weight movement: the spring and damping settings throw load onto whichever axle drives the car, which on the Carrera-2 is the rear. By making the driven tyres compress harder during that initial surge, the kit cuts the time the wheels spend slipping and shortens the gap between throttle input and traction. The same behaviour carries into high-speed stability, holding the platform composed once the car is hooked up and pulling cleanly.

Fitment for the Porsche 964 CARRERA-2 (1991-1994)

This kit is cut for the Porsche 964 CARRERA-2, chassis code PO10, spanning the 1991 to 1994 model years. It is matched to the rear-drive Carrera-2 in particular, the variant that gains most from a launch setup biased toward loading the driven rear axle.
