Does anyone have input on these? Opinions? Are the RUf springs any different than those from a regular Bilstein spring? Nothing on the auction or evn the RUF site shares info about spring rates, etc.
Interested in bidding.
Thanks

I had them on my car. Loved them . Feel softer than a PSS-9 but handle awesome. I would say sprung right with more focus on damping. If you are looking for a GT type ride quality and more tuned performance. New owner loves it as well.

Pretty sweet. If you want it, I'd say you better scoop it up... Those kits are long since discontinued.

Thanks for the prompt reply. This is my dd, with a a couple of light track days, so no need for moton club sports here! Your description sounds great. So are these just PSS9s with RUF green colored springs, or actually something different?

By the way, thanks for the heads up on his auction. Now let's see if it stays sane, or gets bid out...

Just contact them. They'll sell them outright for that price. This is a great price since a PSS kit will run you close to a thousand more new. Plus it comes with the rear sway which the PSS kits don't.

Same here - I have them and they are great...They can adjust from rock hard to very soft. I have mine set on the 3rd click from stiffest and they are firm, yet comfortable in all conditions.

+1. They are re-sprung and also re valved. If I had to guess I would say the biggest diff are more damping and less spring in teh rear balanced by a sway bar. Well designed. This means they can have more spring in the front to reduce hitting the bump stops and still overcome the understeer. Feels great. They truly took the PSS-9 and made it better as a kit on the car.

Good find Suman!

I remember hearing the tubes were cut down so they would not bottom out on lowered cars.

Possible, mine did when I went too low. Maybe it helped but didn't eliminate it. I also dug around and found the install instructions (which you will get I'm sure) and they were strict on ride height.
