Sam,

do the instruction specify if the stock ride height can be kept for us with steep driveways to clear?

Wow, woke up to call them, and make the buy. They were already sold! Darn! Hope someone here on this thread got them at least. Left a message but they never called back. Highly doubt there are more in stock. Oh well.....

 

Stuff like that, you have to jump. Early bird gets the worm.

 

What ever happened to your car?

 

hmm?

 

The PSS stuff can be set-up as high as about .75in lower than stock.

I think if you can get some help from the guys there you can have a PSS-9 or 190 re-valved and sprung but $$$.

 

I know this thread is a few months old, but I just saw that they have them at a $2,000.00 discount currently

I tried calling RAC with no luck. Anyone know what the price of the ruf pss9 kit is before the $1990 discount?

I'm a bit surprised by this, as they informed me way back when that these were not a stocked item, and they were merely clearing out old inventory. They did say there were more available. Confused.

 

Right at $4500

 

So I contacted them....again, and once again..., I was told I was just too late again, and they just sold "the last one" again, but they steered me to buy the lower price PSS9's. Not quite sure if these suspension kits exist, but they do seem elusive!

I asked them if these are ever going to be stocked, or do they get one offs every so often from some obscure basement?!
Oh well....

 

Send Hans an email. Shop manager and co-owner. He'll treat you right!

Will do. From my understanding the kit is essentially a set of PSS9s, slightly different spring rates, and a rear sway bar. So if they can sell me a set of "regular" Bilstein PSS9's, and throw in a sway bar for the same price ($2500), I don't need green colored springs!

 

Direct from the source:

"The ebay ones we put up for auction were the last new set we had. One of our
current clients didn't like them so we took them off his car. I honestly
don't know if they are being produced anymore. You may have to contact RUF
Germany direct. I hear they have a dealer somewhere up north."

Thank you,

That's funny. Like they don't know who took over their RUF distributorship for the US. No need to contact Germany as they will refer you to Mike Melville at RUF USA in Michigan at 248-304-9091. Mike's a super nice and usually easy to get a hold of on the phone unlike the guys at RAC where they never return messages. In the current RUF parts catalogue the suspension for the 996tt is listed at 3250 Euro, so pretty pricey at $4300. Mike can usually get stuff in within 2 weeks or less. This is what the kit looks like:
