XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Porsche 997 CARRERA-2/S (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2005-2011

Fitting a coilover to a Porsche 997 Carrera 2 or Carrera 2S means making a deliberate choice to step away from PASM and take manual control of what Porsche spent considerable engineering effort automating. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the 997 includes the dedicated electronic damping cancellation kit for exactly that reason – without it, the factory control module generates persistent faults when it detects the absence of the adaptive dampers.

The 997’s rear-engine weight bias makes suspension tuning more consequential here than on most cars. Too much stiffness at the rear and you amplify the snap-oversteer risk that chassis code carries in its DNA; get the spring and damper balance right and the 997’s natural agility sharpens into something genuinely quick across a wide range of surfaces. The Super Sport’s 36-way adjustment range exists to find and hold that balance – across conditions, across the varied surface quality of UK roads, and across however hard you choose to drive.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2011 Porsche 997 Carrera-2/S

Ride height adjustment lowers the 997’s centre of gravity without the crude shortcut of cutting springs – damper travel and geometry stay consistent, which matters on a car where rear axle behaviour is already sensitive to setup changes. The 36-way damping range means you are not committed to a single compromise: softer for the motorway run to a circuit, firmer once you are in the paddock and the surface improves. Replacing PASM with a fixed, fully understood damper characteristic removes the variability the factory adaptive system introduces – you know precisely how the rear of the car will respond to throttle inputs on corner exit, and you tune from there. Road comfort is not abandoned to achieve this: the Super Sport addresses the surface harshness that makes stiff fixed-rate suspension fatiguing over longer distances.

About the Super Sport coilover

The XYZ Racing Super Sport is the crossover between fast-road and circuit use: firm enough to perform on track, compliant enough to remain tolerable on a daily basis. The 36-way damping adjustment spans a wide enough range that the same coilover serves both a commute over imperfect surfaces and a track day on smooth tarmac without hardware changes – move the adjuster, not the car. Ride height is independently adjustable from the spring perch, keeping damper travel geometry intact rather than effectively shortening the stroke as a purely lowered spring would. The construction specifically addresses the discomfort generated by road roughness and broken surfaces, which is a genuine consideration on UK roads even at sports-car ride heights. Both weekend circuit use and regular daily driving sit within the Super Sport’s design brief, and the 36-way adjustment is the mechanism for moving between them.

Fitment for the Porsche 997 Carrera-2/S (2005-2011)

This kit is built for the Porsche 997 Carrera 2 and Carrera 2S across both the 997.1 (2005-2008) and 997.2 (2009-2011) generations, operating under chassis code PO04-C. The electronic damping cancellation kit is included and is a mandatory requirement for any 997 fitted with PASM – removing the adaptive dampers without addressing the PASM control module will trigger persistent fault codes. If your 997 left the factory without PASM, confirm the correct non-cancellation variant applies to your car before ordering.
