Handling & Dynamics Surgery

Introduction

Porscheshop's Mark Millard and Ian Heward both have over 30 years experience working with Porsche cars and have acquired over 60 years motorsport and track car experience between them.

We're now offering our services to touring and track enthusiasts wishing to explore the limits of their cars both safely and cost effectively.

This service is being offered for the following Porsche models:

  • Boxster
  • Cayman
  • 911 (996 and 997)
  • 964 and 993
  • Pre-89 911
  • 924, 944, 968 and 928





Who might benefit from this service?

Any owner/driver starting out or having gained some basic track experience will know the value of good brakes and predictable handling.

However the standard factory car is not equipped to deal with sustained intensive touring or track day usage. This is because Porsche build cars to a cost and to a comfort level to suit a wide range of conditions and drivers.

Our aim is to enhance both driver performance and car handling without compromising your comfort and enjoyment, and to this end we recognize each customer is unique in their requirements.







What we do

We take a three step process in understanding and enhancing your cars performance:

  • We ask you about your experience and your expectations
  • We will advise on the less is more principal:
    • Pads
    • Fluid
    • Geometry
  • After this we can look at more serious upgrades including:
    • Suspension
    • Braking systems






Why do we take this approach?

This approach is undertaken for three reasons:

  1. You need to learn the benefits of your improvements stage by stage which will help you the driver recognize where you are improving
  2. If we do too much at once you will not grow with your car's ability
  3. Cost can be spread over a period of time while you enjoy each improvement








Typical costs

Our experience is provided free of charge, you only pay for the parts and labor at standard Porscheshop rates.

Our in depth experience ensures your money is spent effectively in the areas needed, often reducing your budget by ironing out expensive and unnecessary myths.

The relationship can be a one off visit or an on-going program of development, we retain all data here on the premises enabling a linear progression as both driver experience and car development improves.

All setups and improvements are fully reversible, so your car can be set back to the standard Porsche specifications, at any time.
