Upgrade your Porsche 911 (996) Turbo with the Dežru Spec-S Coilover Suspension System, designed to deliver improved handling, enhanced chassis stability, and responsive suspension performance while maintaining everyday street usability. Engineered for the unique characteristics of the 996 Turbo's rear-engine layout, all-wheel-drive system, and performance capabilities, the Spec-S offers a balanced suspension solution for spirited street driving, mountain roads, and occasional track days.
Featuring digressive monotube dampers, adjustable damping, and Turbo-specific spring rates, the Dežru Spec-S helps control body movement during braking, cornering, acceleration, and rapid direction changes. Its suspension design aims to provide a more composed and predictable driving experience without sacrificing the compliance needed for everyday roads.
Key Features
-
Digressive Monotube Dampers: Designed to provide effective chassis control during steering, braking, and acceleration while maintaining compliance over uneven pavement.
-
Adjustable Damping: Allows suspension response to be tuned to suit daily driving, spirited road use, and occasional HPDE track events.
-
Fixed-Length Damper Bodies: Designed to support the lowered ride height while helping preserve usable suspension travel.
-
Adjustable Lowered Ride Height: Provides approximately 25–30 mm of lowering, subject to the manufacturer's specified adjustment range.
-
Turbo-Specific Spring Rates: Includes 350 lb/in front and 600 lb/in rear springs, selected for the Porsche 996 Turbo's weight distribution, AWD configuration, and performance requirements.
-
Linear HyperCoil Springs: Designed to deliver consistent spring response and predictable handling characteristics.
-
OEM-Style Upper Mounts: Intended to retain a more street-friendly suspension character while helping limit unwanted noise, vibration, and harshness.
-
Hand-Built, Dyno-Matched Dampers: Designed to promote consistent damping characteristics between corresponding suspension components.
Performance and Handling
The Dežru Spec-S is designed to provide a noticeable improvement in chassis control and handling precision while retaining the everyday usability expected from a street-oriented suspension system. Its matched spring and damping combination helps manage body movement during cornering, hard braking, acceleration, and rapid transitions.
The 350 lb/in front spring rate is designed to provide additional support during braking and cornering, helping the front suspension respond more consistently to driver inputs. The 600 lb/in rear spring rate provides increased support for the rear-engine platform and helps manage suspension movement during acceleration and high-load cornering.
Together, these spring rates and the application-specific damping characteristics aim to deliver a balanced setup for the 996 Turbo, with improved responsiveness and stability without the more aggressive priorities of a dedicated track suspension.
Adjustable Ride Height and Damping
The Spec-S features adjustable ride height with a stated lowering range of approximately 25–30 mm. This allows owners to achieve a lower stance while targeting appropriate suspension travel and geometry for performance driving.
The adjustable damping system allows drivers to tailor suspension behavior to their preferred balance of comfort and control. Correct setup is important to achieve the desired handling characteristics, and a professional installation followed by a wheel alignment is recommended.
Street Comfort and Occasional Track Use
Unlike a suspension system developed primarily for competition, the Dežru Spec-S emphasizes a balance between performance and street comfort. It is suited to drivers who want sharper handling and better chassis control for everyday driving, spirited back-road use, and occasional HPDE track events.
Its combination of digressive damping, linear springs, and OEM-style upper mounts makes it a suitable option for performance-oriented street builds that require greater control without prioritizing maximum track stiffness.
