The reason for RS uprights is to correct undesired geometry changes caused by running a lower ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRS upright advantages include improved suspension travel, superior camber gain, and reduced bump steer. The result is superior performance and ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRS uprights are an awesome upgrade for any lowered 993 or 964 including C2, C4 and Turbo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Now!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElephant Racing designed RS uprights faithfully reproduce the factory RS geometry. They are made of aircraft grade aluminum billet for superior strength. They are a direct replacement for the factory 993 RS uprights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey accept standard 993 front wheel bearings and cover plates. GT2 type tie rods are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRS Upright vs Standard Upright Differences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are five basic differences between RS uprights and standard uprights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wheel bearing has been moved up about 30mm relative to the ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe steering knuckle is relocated and has inverted mounting of the tie rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS uprights are lightweight aluminum as are standard 993 uprights. 964 standard uprights are steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS drop link attachment point is a correct fit to RS swaybar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS Uprights are compatible with larger 964 Turbo and 993 radial mount calipers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRS Upright Geometry Correction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLowering a 993\/964 with stock uprights causes several undesired geometry changes, all of which are corrected by the RS uprights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRS uprights improve camber gain.\u003c\/strong\u003e The lower control arm angles up at the ball joint end, putting the suspension in a poor point on the camber curve. RS uprights angle the lower control arm back down, thus enhancing camber gain and ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRS uprights improve suspension travel.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lowering the car compresses the front strut and reduces available suspension travel. The result is premature bottoming out, poor handling and ride quality caused by contact with the bump stop – which creates an abrupt and unsettling rise in spring rate at that corner that unsettles the car. RS uprights put back suspension travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRS uprights reduce bump steer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lowering the car moves the stock tie rod into an unfavorable position on the bump steer curve, make the car a handful to drive over uneven surfaces and requiring frequent adjustments at the steering wheel to maintain a steady trajectory. RS uprights relocate the tie rod end placing bump steer in a favorable position on the curve at lowered ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-column right\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatch this Quick Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-14293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elephantracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/964-993-rs-upright-comparison_004-300x179.jpg\" alt=\"Elephant Racing RS Uprights Comparison\" width=\"400\" height=\"239\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ELEPHANT RACING","offers":[{"title":"’89-’98 964,993 left side, Use with RS\/GT2 type tie rods (2390000)","offer_id":43728888594493,"sku":"2390000","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"’89-’98 964,993 right side, Use with RS\/GT2 type tie rods (2390001)","offer_id":43728888627261,"sku":"2390001","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/5024\/files\/RS-Uprights-for-Porsche-964_001_8573f0bb-1dbc-40f6-8a88-1114503f7421.jpg?v=1790576062","url":"https:\/\/www.euromotiv.com\/products\/elephant-racing-rs-uprights-964-993","provider":"Euromotiv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
