H&R Reds with Ruf Shocks ?
Hi.. I have Ruf suspension on my c4 but cant seem to get them low enough even on the lowest setting. Was wondering if replacing the ruf springs (green in colour) with H&R turbo reds would be a good idea ? I suppose the shocks that Ruf use are bilsteins ? Or is there any alternative way of lowering the height more (using new mounts ?). Many thanks.

The greens and reds will lower the car the same amount. I can't believe that this is not low enough for you.
there was someone who made lowering collars that would lower the car by 1.5" IIRC, using the stock springs. If you used these and the Ruf springs, I would assume that you would get almost 3" lower.
Do a search for lowering collars.

Thanks Colin.. but amazingly , the Ruf Springs dont go down all that low.. Would be happy with ride height of the reds if poss.. check out comments from complete 964 site :
The RUF package is the most interesting in that it includes dampers (Bilstein re-valved units), progressive coil over springs in a strange shade of army green (for the fashion conscious) and anti sway bars front and rear. Handling is excellent, and the car is only marginally lowered, thus maintaining practicality. The annoying tendency of excessive body roll in the 964 is completely done away with, and the car appears to steer into corners more readily (ie: the general under steering tendency of the 964 is reduced). A full test of the suspension package will be performed at a later stage. Pricing stands at around SGD6,000 without installation.
The problem - with very little specs to work with (wrt to the revalved Bilsteins) not evebn sure if the reds will work well. Will try to search for the collars you mentioned..
any other suggestions most welcomed.
cheers.
