Upgrade your Porsche 911 (996) Turbo with the Dežru Spec-RS Coilover Suspension System, a track-focused suspension solution engineered for drivers who demand enhanced chassis control, precise handling, and consistent performance under demanding driving conditions. Designed around the unique characteristics of the 996 Turbo's rear-engine layout, all-wheel-drive configuration, and high-performance capabilities, the Spec-RS delivers increased suspension support for spirited driving, high-performance driving education (HPDE), time attack, and dedicated track use.
Featuring motorsport-oriented monotube dampers, aggressive digressive piston valving, and application-specific spring rates, the Dežru Spec-RS is designed to improve vehicle response during hard braking, rapid direction changes, high-speed cornering, and aggressive acceleration. Its performance-focused damping characteristics help manage chassis movement and maintain a more controlled, predictable platform when driving near the limits of available grip.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Track-Focused Monotube Dampers: Designed to provide responsive damping and improved chassis control under demanding driving conditions.
-
Aggressive Digressive Piston Valving: Delivers strong low-speed damping support for controlling body movement while allowing greater compliance over high-speed suspension impacts.
-
Adjustable Damping: Allows drivers to fine-tune suspension response to suit tire selection, road conditions, track surfaces, and driving preferences.
-
Fixed-Length Damper Bodies: Designed to support a lowered ride height while helping preserve usable suspension travel and appropriate suspension geometry.
-
Application-Specific Spring Rates: Features 450 lb/in front and 750 lb/in rear spring rates, selected to suit the weight distribution and performance requirements of the Porsche 996 Turbo.
-
Linear HyperCoil Springs: Provide consistent spring response and predictable suspension behavior under changing loads.
-
Performance Upper Mounts: Designed to support suspension precision and durability during demanding performance driving.
-
Hand-Built, Dyno-Matched Dampers: Engineered to promote consistent damping characteristics and balanced suspension performance from side to side.
Performance and Handling Characteristics
The Dežru Spec-RS suspension system is designed to deliver a firmer, more controlled driving experience for Porsche 996 Turbo owners seeking greater precision during aggressive driving. Its performance-oriented damping and spring combination is intended to reduce excessive chassis movement during braking, corner entry, rapid transitions, and acceleration out of corners.
The 450 lb/in front spring rate provides additional front-end support to help manage braking loads and directional changes. At the rear, the 750 lb/in spring rate is designed to provide increased support for the rear-engine platform and help control suspension movement under acceleration and cornering loads.
Combined with application-specific damper valving, these spring rates are intended to create a cohesive suspension setup that emphasizes chassis stability, predictable response, and repeatable performance during extended high-load driving sessions.
The adjustable damping system allows drivers to tailor suspension behavior to different driving environments and setup requirements. Proper adjustment, alignment, and ride-height setup remain important for achieving the desired balance between grip, stability, and suspension compliance.
Adjustable Ride Height and Suspension Setup
The Spec-RS features a fixed-length damper design with adjustable ride height, allowing owners to lower their Porsche 996 Turbo to suit their performance and aesthetic preferences. This design approach aims to retain useful suspension travel while accommodating a lowered stance.
Professional installation and a subsequent wheel alignment are recommended to ensure appropriate suspension geometry, tire contact, and handling balance. Ride height and damping settings should be configured according to the vehicle's intended use and the manufacturer's setup recommendations.
Designed for Street and Track Performance
Although the Dežru Spec-RS can be used on the street, its setup prioritizes performance, chassis support, and control over maximum ride comfort. Its characteristics make it particularly suitable for drivers who regularly participate in HPDE events, time attack, track days, or spirited driving on appropriate roads.
Drivers who primarily use their Porsche 996 Turbo for daily commuting and prioritize a more compliant ride may prefer a less aggressive suspension option, such as the Dežru Spec-A or Spec-S, subject to vehicle compatibility.
Ideal For
