Avoid Control Arm Failure
For Safari type cars we recommend reinforcing the control arms to help cope with the additional forces that off-road vehicles must deal with.
These precision cut steel plates and gussets are to be welded at strategic locations to strengthen the factory control arms.

✓ Laser Cut – Fits the profile of the shock tower perfectly.
✓ Strong – Solidly ties the towers and cross-member into unibody box sections and inner wheel well. Distributes the shock loads properly and reinforces the entire section.
✓ Holes – Great appearance and convenient routing of hoses and wires.
✓ Weld from one side – Fully seam weld without removing rear firewall.
✓ Light Weight – Properly engineered to distribute loads, not 'over engineered' with excess material and weight.
When converting the 911 torsion bar rear suspension to coilover, the rear shock towers should be reinforced. Coilover springs introduce loads the towers were not designed to handle. Without reinforcement, cracks can develop over time – most frequently between the crossmember and unibody box sections.
Our reinforcement kit strengthens this vulnerable area and properly distributes coilover spring loads.

Our brackets make it easy to get a professional result, saving you the time and guesswork cutting your own.
This kit requires welding for installation.

Repair or prevent spring plate mounts from cracking.
Repair or prevent spring plate mounts from cracking
Spring Plate Mount Reinforcement Panels will help prevent or repair the common problem of cracked spring plate cover mounts resulting from worn, deformed, or stuck bushings in the cover.
Elephant Racing Rear Spring Plate Mount Reinforcement Panels are precision laser-cut and formed panels from 18 gauge steel. These panels distribute the torsion bar and spring plate loads into the torsion tube housing and multi-layer sheet metal just beyond the original mounting boss locations.
Excess heat during the welding process will tend to distort the sheet metal moving the mounting studs out of alignment. The included Mounting Stud Alignment Panel will help maintain their original spacing allowing for much easier reassembly.
At this time, you may also be interested in replacing your bushings or upgrade to Elephant Racing's PolyBronze spring plate bushings.
Please note: Welding is required to install properly

Rennline now offers these mounts for those dedicated to building the ultimate classic 911. These strut tower braces are of similar design to the units we have been offering for years, but take them to a new level of strength and effectiveness.
These braces are precision cut and bent in house, then dimple dyed for the ultimate in strength and rigidity. Once welded to the strut tower, they will not only provide an ideal place for mounting a strut tower brace to but they will increase the strength and rigidity of the entire tower.
The package is rounded out with one of our fully adjustable, spherical end strut bars to bolt between the brackets. Combined, this setup will provide the ultimate in stiffness and performance, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and steering feel under the most stressful of conditions.

Prevent or repair common failure point.
Elephant Racing Swaybar Mount Reinforcement Panels will help prevent or repair the common problem of cracked swaybar mounts resulting from the application of overly stiff, binding, or incorrectly adjusted aftermarket swaybars.
Elephant Racing Swaybar Mount Reinforcement Panels are precision laser-cut from18 gauge steel. They distribute the swaybar loads into the bulkhead and double-layer sheet metal just beyond the original single-layer hole location.
You may also be interested in an upgrade to Elephant Racing's QuickChange Blade Style Swaybar which mounts to the chassis using spherical bushings that articulate or "float" ensuring no binding. Spherical bushings allow mounts to automatically re-align themselves when the chassis is flexing under load. We believe this binding plays a significant role in the mount's failure.

Porsche Chassis Strengthening Plates | Reinforced Performance for Track & Road
Chassis strengthening plates are essential components for improving rigidity, handling, and long-term durability in high-performance and motorsport applications. These precision-engineered plates reinforce key structural points in your Porsche’s chassis — minimising flex, improving suspension response, and ensuring stability under extreme cornering, acceleration, and braking loads.
At Design911, we supply premium quality chassis strengthening plates developed to meet or exceed original structural standards. Each kit is crafted from high-grade steel or aluminium, precision-cut for exact fitment, and suitable for both competition and fast-road use. Whether you’re restoring a classic 911 for endurance racing or upgrading a Cayman for track-day reliability, our strengthening solutions deliver exceptional control, longevity, and performance integrity.
What Do Chassis Strengthening Plates Do?
Chassis strengthening plates are fitted to reinforce weak or high-stress areas of the vehicle’s frame, particularly around suspension mounting points, torsion tube areas, or subframe connections.
Core Functions:
- Reinforce key structural points of the chassis.
- Minimise flex for sharper handling and improved stability.
- Support suspension and drivetrain geometry under load.
- Extend chassis lifespan in high-performance driving.
- Improve driver confidence and feedback on track and road.
By adding rigidity, strengthening plates allow the suspension to perform more consistently — resulting in better grip and control.
Why Do Chassis Components Fail or Require Reinforcement?
Over time, repeated stress, vibration, and high-performance driving can cause fatigue or cracking in the chassis structure, especially in older or heavily modified Porsche models.
Common Causes of Weakness or Failure Include:
- Metal fatigue from track use or aggressive cornering.
- Cracking around suspension mounting points.
- Corrosion weakening the subframe or floor panels.
- Deformation from impacts or heavy loads.
- Structural stress from upgraded power or stiffer suspension setups.
Reinforcement with high-strength plates helps prevent long-term damage, ensuring performance reliability and vehicle safety.
Why Install or Replace Porsche Chassis Strengthening Plates?
Replacing or upgrading your Porsche’s chassis strengthening plates enhances performance precision and extends the lifespan of structural components — making it a must for both restoration and motorsport builds.
Key Benefits:
- Restores or improves chassis rigidity and handling balance.
- Prevents cracking and metal fatigue in critical stress zones.
- Supports advanced suspension and power upgrades.
- Made from durable steel or lightweight aluminium alloys.
- Precision-cut for perfect Porsche model fitment.
- Ideal for race preparation, rally builds, or fast-road setups.
Design911’s range of strengthening plates combines durability, accuracy, and motorsport-grade performance — trusted by enthusiasts and professionals worldwide.
