XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Porsche 992 CARRERA-2/S CABRIOLET (without hydraulic lift system) 2019-2026

With approximately 62 per cent of its weight sitting behind the rear axle and a convertible body structure demanding over 100kg of additional bracing compared to the coupe, the 992 Carrera Cabriolet is a more complex platform to set up for circuit use than its reputation suggests. Remove the factory adaptive damping and you are working with a car that is structurally softer than the fixed-roof version – one where the interaction between spring rate, damper tune, and a pronounced rear weight bias becomes the central variable for any serious lap time.

The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilovers for the Porsche 992 Carrera-2/S Cabriolet cover the 2019 to 2026 model range. Settings across the series have been developed through direct participation in competitive racing events – not extrapolated from road car data – with WTCC among the programmes informing the calibration.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2026 Porsche 992 Carrera-2/S Cabriolet

Removing the factory PASM and fitting the Racing Spec gives consistent, repeatable damper behaviour rather than an adaptive system making real-time adjustments under sustained circuit loads. For the Cabriolet, where torsional rigidity is inherently lower than the fixed-roof car, that consistency matters more – not less. A well-specced fixed-rate setup allows the suspension geometry to work as intended without the system compensating for chassis flex that a more compliant mode would otherwise mask. Lowering ride height also reduces the effective moment arm on the rear-biased weight distribution, improving front axle response and sharpening the turn-in feel that the convertible’s body compliance can otherwise blunt. The absence of the hydraulic lift system on this specification means there is no actuator geometry at the front corners to interfere with installation.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec is XYZ’s competition-oriented damper line, and the distinction from their road-biased series lies in how the settings were derived: through direct racing programme participation including WTCC events, rather than back-calculated from road car feedback. For 992 owners running significantly upgraded cars – vehicles approaching factory racing specification or carrying A-class competition modifications – XYZ can produce custom shock absorbers for the specific configuration. Supply a full inventory of your upgraded components and the circuits or events you intend to run, and the damper specification is built around your car rather than a general fitment profile. That option exists because a car running aggressive suspension, braking, or drivetrain upgrades is a different problem to solve than a standard 992 on track.

Fitment for the Porsche 992 Carrera-2/S Cabriolet (2019-2026)

These Racing Spec coilovers are validated for the Porsche 992 Carrera-2 and Carrera S Cabriolet, chassis code PO20, covering the 2019 to 2026 model years. The fitment is specific to cars without the optional hydraulic front axle lift system – that option alters the front suspension geometry in a way that makes this specification incompatible. Confirm your car’s option list before ordering.
