Anyone have user knowledge of Ruf add-ons such as their suspension, mufflers, etc? Worth it or just over priced for the name?

The company or the products? The company has an amazing history and has done impressive and innovative things. Great article in one of the last couple of Total911 magazines (UK Porsche magazine). I've never owned any of their products, so can't comment on that.

Products - I'm in full search mode on updates/add-ons and enhancements since I know I have a few fixes forthcoming, from suspension to exhaust. I know Ruf's history as a manufacturer, but am curious on their aftermarket products....

I have the RUF springs paired with B8's on my Anniversary Edition. So far so good, no issues. The combo vastly improved handling and comfort IMO. They were more expensive vs other spring options, but hey... I've got RUF parts on my car now so I've got that going for me.

If I remember correctly, Ruf may spec the parts but has other (big name) companies make their parts.
