996Turbo with Ruf Springs as spacers

[Jay964rs]

Hi All,
Here a some phone pictures of my 996 Turbo with recently added RUF springs and wheel spacers.
The ride isn't much harder than standard, although the stance is better, and i don't know if it's me, but the turn in has noticably improved, maybe because of the spacers?

From the thread title I was half expecting the wheels to be sticking out Carlos Fandango style

Sits really well now and what spec springs and spacer sizes did you go for? A close up at the wheels would be good to see how they sit nearer the arches

I briefly owned a 996 Turbo with stage 1 map, RUF exhaust, RUF/Bilstein PSS9 coilovers and spacers. Best handling, quickish 996 Turbo I've driven.

I'm getting old and creaky (well, my back is!) but didn't want too firm a set up.
Springs ordered direct from RUF, so not sure of the spec.
Spacers are 7mm front, 15mm rear.
For me, it's perfect now
People are quite critical about the turbo being everyday usable and abit boring, but this shows a little imagination and it can be turned into a proper good drive.

The RUF kit is the perfect compromise between handling (both at low and high speed) and comfort. It's adjustable too.
