Default Help me ID this strut brace

As I wrote earlier today, I joined the 993 club last week. I'm cleaning out the frunk and I look under the carpet and it looks like I can mod my mod list by removing 'Purch / Install Strut Brace' from the list.

Please help me ID this adjustable strut brace - who's the manufacturer?

Looks like a Perfect Power strutbrace - a RUF copy.

I've got the same brace, certainly Perfect Power and yes, a RUF copy.

The Ruf one comes in black with a tiny logo you wouldn't even notice. It just barely fits under the front carpet but the clips are a stretch.

I have the same one also. Very clean and seems to duo the trick.

I believe I have the RUF version and it has a part number on it but it doesnt match the current US part number. Mine is R93 501 333 00

Update:

I have a response from RUF USA

Harold:

The 993 version of this part has been superseded by the 964 version. We don't have records of past RUF business here in the States.

dbrians,

Here is all I have of the receipts:


Looks like the previous owner purchased the parts from RUF in 97 and then took them to the dealer in the area for install. States its the whole kit. I looked at lunch time. I'll check out the actual suspension sometime this weekend to see if there are any other identifying marks on mine.
