NEW From ALTA Cross Suspension and Exhaust

ALTA Performance is proud to announce the addition of the Cross line to our warehouse.

For all that read this entire (long winded) post you will find a treat (i.e. special discount )

About the Coilovers
CROSS Competition coilover systems for your high performance machine. The Competition Series is our top of the line coilover system. It features a lightweight design with a 15 way dampening adjustable monotube damper. With its high strength and durability, the Competition Series insures that it will last through any type of driving condition. The front damper features a 40 mm piston and the rear has either a 40 or 45mm piston depending on application. The ride height adjustability is independent from the spring perch so adjusting ride height does not compromise the spring rate or rebound and compression of the damper. All coilover systems come with a cool bend linear spring that offer last precision steering and handling. Spring rates are also custom tailored to each system and driver's preference. All Competition Series coilovers include front camber adjustable pillow ball upper mounts and most rear includes pillow ball mounts depending on application. Based off of racing technology, the Competition Series Coilover is a street performance suspension, customizable for full track use. Off the shelf kit comes with F 8kg/mm and R 7kg/mm springs.


PILLOWBALL UPPER MOUNT
Included for some vehicles for the front and some for rear application. Adjustable camber plate also included for most vehicle front applications with Macpherson Strut suspension systems. This allows for a higher performance stance and adjustability. The adjustable camber plate will give enough camber to allow handling characteristics and better feedback and response to the driver. Some applications may come with a rubber bushing uppermount. CROSS is one of the elite companies that actually offers a performance uppermount to make a true complete coilover system.
ADJUSTABLE DAMPENING
Available for all applications with 15 ways adjustability. With this feature, you are able to tune your suspension dampening up to your spec. Adjustability is easy with inverted monotube on the bottom of the damper and monotube dampers on the top. An adjustable **** (included with the kit) makes adjustability easy with solid clicks. Adjustability can be softer for street use and brought up for track use. CROSS Competition Series Coilovers have a broad range of adjustability to suit any type of driver looking to upgrade their high performance Porsche.
COOL BEND SPRINGS
Linear rate spring manufactured using chrome silicon metal alloy with a cool bend process to prevent sag or loss of spring rate. This allows for a direct feel with the vehicle and driver. In addition, CROSS is one of the only companies that utilizes the linear spring for better handling. Each kit comes with various spring rates that are available for more of a custom set up from strictly street performance to all out race-prepped vehicles.
DURABLE MONOTUBE DESIGN
Each CROSS damper includes a high pressure, nitrogen gas filled, monotube designed damper, with special stable viscosity index oil that will not be affected by wide temperature changes. Therefore, heat does not affect the performance capabilities which is the one main performance advantages for a monotube damper. Also, 40mm and 45mm pistons are used for wider performance capabilities. Monotube dampers also allow for easier customization and rebuilding of the damper for longer use. All rebuilds are done "in house" with our highly skilled technicians.
HIGH STRENGTH INVERTED MONOTUBE
This unique design features a 40mm piston with a one of a kind bumpstop design incased inside the damper. The walls of the shock casing is lined with grease so that the absorber body can easily move along inside the shock casing body. There are also two thrust bearings to protect the absorber body. The inverted monotube design also allows for a stronger support for the strut type suspension.
ADJUSTABLE LOWER BRACKET
More durable than factory brackets with adjustable ride height ranging from 0.5" to 2.5" drop without sacrificing the suspension travel. No other European performance coilover company offers this feature. The independent height drop feature also prevents the noisey annoyance of hitting the bump stop. This also extends the performance capabilities as you can get full shock travel. Made of either high grade steel or high strength aluminum.
