Description
Enhance the comfort, handling, and everyday drivability of your Porsche 911 (996) Turbo with the Dežru Spec-A Coilover Suspension System. Engineered specifically for the Turbo platform, the Spec-A combines comfort-focused damping, application-specific spring rates, and adjustable ride height to deliver a refined suspension setup for daily driving, touring, and spirited road use.

Its vehicle-specific damping characteristics are designed to absorb road imperfections while maintaining chassis stability and responsive handling. The result is a suspension upgrade suited to drivers who want to enjoy the performance of their 996 Turbo without an unnecessarily harsh ride.

Comfort and Handling Performance
The Dežru Spec-A is designed to improve the overall driving experience of the Porsche 996 Turbo by balancing suspension support with everyday comfort. Its comfort-oriented damping characteristics help absorb uneven pavement, expansion joints, and other road imperfections while maintaining a composed feel during normal driving and spirited cornering.
The 300 lb/in front spring rate is intended to provide appropriate suspension support while retaining compliance over uneven surfaces. The 500 lb/in rear spring rate is designed to accommodate the rear-engine platform and help control suspension movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Combined with vehicle-specific damper valving, this spring combination aims to deliver predictable suspension response without relying on excessive stiffness. Actual ride comfort and handling characteristics will depend on damping adjustment, ride height, wheel and tire selection, alignment, and road conditions.
Adjustable Ride Height
The Spec-A provides an approximate lowering range of 25–45 mm below the original factory ride height, allowing owners to achieve a lower stance while tailoring the setup to their preferences.
Its independent ride-height adjustment is designed to allow changes to vehicle height without using spring preload as the primary adjustment method. Correct setup is essential to preserve suitable suspension travel, alignment, and handling characteristics.
Professional installation and a wheel alignment after installation are recommended.
Built for Everyday Driving
The Dežru Spec-A is ideal for Porsche 996 Turbo owners who want a more refined suspension setup for commuting, highway driving, touring, and spirited back-road use. Its comfort-oriented design prioritizes everyday usability while providing adjustable damping and a lower ride height.
Although suitable for enthusiastic street driving, the Spec-A is not primarily intended as a dedicated competition suspension. Drivers who regularly participate in demanding track events and prioritize maximum chassis support may prefer a more track-focused coilover system.
