Description
Upgrade your Porsche 911 (996) Carrera C2 with the Dežru Spec-A Coilover Suspension System, designed to deliver improved handling, adjustable ride height, and enhanced driving comfort without compromising the engaging character of the 911. Engineered specifically for the Porsche 996 platform, the Spec-A combines comfort-focused monotube dampers, rebound adjustment, and application-specific spring rates to provide a balanced suspension solution for daily driving, touring, and spirited road use.
Unlike track-focused coilover systems that prioritize maximum stiffness, the Dežru Spec-A emphasizes ride quality and predictable chassis control. Its vehicle-specific damping characteristics are designed to absorb uneven pavement while maintaining stability and responsive handling through corners, braking zones, and direction changes.

Comfort and Handling Performance
The Dežru Spec-A is designed to refine the driving experience of the Porsche 911 Carrera C2 by balancing chassis control with everyday comfort. Its comfort-oriented damping characteristics help absorb road imperfections, expansion joints, and uneven pavement while maintaining a composed and predictable feel.
The 250 lb/in front spring rate is designed to provide a balance of front-end support and road compliance, helping maintain responsive steering and predictable turn-in. The 450 lb/in rear spring rate provides support for the rear-engine layout and helps control suspension movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Working together, the springs and matched dampers aim to deliver consistent suspension response without the unnecessarily firm ride often associated with track-focused coilovers. Actual ride quality and handling will depend on damping settings, vehicle condition, tire selection, alignment, and ride height.
Adjustable Ride Height and Suspension Setup
The Spec-A features an adjustable ride height with an approximate lowering range of 25–45 mm below factory ride height. This allows owners to achieve a lower, more purposeful stance while tailoring the setup to their driving preferences.
Its independent ride-height adjustment is designed to allow vehicle height changes without using spring preload as the primary adjustment method. Proper setup is important to maintain suitable suspension travel, alignment, and handling characteristics.
Professional installation and a wheel alignment after installation are recommended.
Designed for Street and Touring Use
The Dežru Spec-A is ideal for Porsche 996 Carrera C2 owners who want a more refined suspension setup for everyday driving, highway cruising, touring, and spirited back-road driving. Its comfort-focused design prioritizes usability while providing adjustable damping and ride height for a more personalized driving experience.
Although suitable for enthusiastic street driving and occasional autocross, the Spec-A is primarily intended for drivers who value ride comfort and balanced handling over the aggressive chassis support of a dedicated track suspension.
