XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Porsche CAYENNE 4WD (E2) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2011-2018

The second-generation Cayenne (E2, 2011-2018) left the factory with PASM, Porsche’s electronically controlled damping, fitted across most of the range, and that electronic control module is the first problem anyone fitting fixed-rate coilovers to this chassis has to solve. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport kit for the Cayenne 4WD builds the cancellation circuit into the package, so the ECU stops hunting for a PASM signal that no longer exists instead of throwing suspension fault codes at every start-up.

This is a fast-road and weekend track application, tuned for a car that carries close to 2.2 tonnes and still needs to change direction convincingly on a B-road or a track day sighting lap. Ride height and damping adjustment give you a way to manage that mass without turning the Cayenne into something that rides like a skip on the school run.

What this coilover does for your 2011-2018 Porsche Cayenne

On a car this heavy, body control under load is the first thing to go soft with age, and it’s the first thing owners notice restored once the Super Sport dampers go in. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you back the compression off for a motorway commute and wind it back up before a track day, without swapping parts between the two. Ride height adjustment brings the centre of gravity down from the factory SUV setting, which matters more on the Cayenne than almost anything else in this catalogue, since it’s the single biggest lever against the nose-dive and body roll that come with that near-2.2-tonne kerb weight. Because the kit cancels the PASM signal cleanly, you get fixed-rate control without a dashboard full of warning lights, and the ride stays composed over the broken tarmac and speed humps that are unavoidable in daily UK use.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the fast-road option, built to work as well on the commute as it does on a track day. It uses a damper body with 36 stages of damping adjustment, giving a wide enough spread to run a compliant daily setting one weekend and a firmer track state the next, without the compromises of a fixed-rate spring-only setup. Ride height is independently adjustable, so stance and geometry can be corrected for the Cayenne’s weight distribution rather than left wherever the springs happen to settle. XYZ builds the damper to cope with rough road surfaces as comfortably as a circuit, which is the right brief for a car that’s as likely to be doing a supermarket run as a lapping day. For this specific application, the kit includes the cancellation module needed to run fixed-rate dampers on a chassis where the factory suspension was electronically managed, so once it’s fitted the PASM warning lights and fault codes are gone for good.

Fitment for the Porsche Cayenne (2011-2018)

This kit is built for the second-generation Cayenne, chassis code E2, across the 2011-2018 model years, in 4WD configuration. It’s specified for cars that left the factory with PASM electronic damping, which is why the cancellation kit is included as standard with this listing rather than sold separately.
