Kevin,

You already know the answer to your question-- we discussed in length with Wilber over dinner, remember?

Just call or email Ruf directly. You will probably save money doing it too.

There are only 2 options as all have said: RUF Gmbh or Weissach...
Id look into the US PSS-9 as it is supposed ti be better than the EUro (new spring rates, spring tops, etc...). RUF is based on EUro PSS-9 (they look identical other than spring color and RUF logo!!)

thanx all
tyson: I called ruf in germany already... they offered US3600 as well...(plus shipping and etc) and by the time it gets here, it'll be more expensive than weissach...

msindi: yeah I realized that the pss-9 is coming out, but the pricing will be a bit rediculous for a pss9 system. close to 4000 if including tax, and it doesn't even come with sway bar. With such price I can get a Techart Or KWV3 suspension... or even the Moton/JRZ suspension. And there seemed to be a trouble fitting the H&R swaybar on the rear of the pss9 system. there are just way too many trouble to deal with. Also for Ruf, the service is for sure way much better when compared to other manufacturers. And that's the thing I'm be looking for, b/c I don't wanna wait for months and not be able to drive if there is a failure in my suspension.

Thanx for all your comments...^___^

H&R rear sway will be resolved...it really no big deal if you have a loud exhaust or loud music

the 030 sport i believe is the non-adjustable unit...
it's the euro turbo's standard suspension.
it lowers the car a bit, but the handling is not improved much... (i'm not sure if the suspension is more stiffen than US version)

for porsche factory parts, you may order the X73 sport suspension... it's even lower than the 030 unit, but the ride quality should be better (more stiffen) and handling should improve...

for pss9 unit, you have an adjustable suspension that offers 9 ways adjustable... from soft to hard...
it's supposed to be better than porsche suspension in anyway...
the only advantage x73 has is that it's factory... and it has warranty from porsche

One thing to consider is the RUF valving is designed for the Autobahn and isn't real conducive to driving in the US. I know three people that have had them and hated them. All were completely happy after getting rid of them. In some cases they didn't even change the springs, only the shocks.
