Lowering your 997 using lowering springs or coilovers is a great way of improving how your 997 drives. A lowered ride height can create bump-steer, which is not desirable as it leads to vague steering and understeer.
Bump-steer occurs after lowering a car. A lower ride height alters the angles at which the steering arms meet the wheel hubs, reducing the range of movement available. When driving over bumps when cornering, the limited range of movement of the suspension arms causes the front toe angle to change dynamically. This constant changing of front toe creates understeer and very vague steering.
To solve this, we created our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends - Porsche 911 997 (inc GT models). Our adjustable tie rod ends allow you to entirely eliminate bump-steer, ensuring your 997 remains confidence inspiring at the limit.

Suspension Secrets' products are designed and manufactured in the UK. Our products are made from billet aircraft-grade 6082 T6 aluminium and corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel. We use motorsport-spec Fluro bearings for maximum performance and longevity.
Bump Steer
Bump steer is highly undesirable within racing especially on tracks or surfaces that contain bumps. If the suspension is constantly transitioning between bump and droop, then a car with bump steer will constantly be shifting the steering angle of the car and will make the front end very unstable at high speeds. The bump steer in the system will affect the precisely designed Ackermann steering geometry and will make the steering more unpredictable for the driver.
Bump steer can provide an advantage to the rear end of a car on a smooth circuit effectively providing “active toe” during cornering. This can be used on a front wheel drive car to produce toe out, when the suspension is in bump, at the rear of the car to encourage oversteer on turn in; removing understeer characteristics.
All Suspension Secrets upgrades are designed, developed and manufactured in-house. This process includes prototyping new products using CAD and 3D printing technology, and extensive rear-world testing with professional racing drivers. Sophisticated motorsport data capturing equipment allows us to measure the handling performance gains achieved by our parts.
All parts purchased on our website are shipped internationally free of charge. We accept return requests made within 14 days of receipt of the item.
