XYZ Racing Pro Racing Gravel/Snow Coilovers — Porsche CAYMAN 718 (982) GT4 RS 2022-2026

The 982-generation Cayman GT4 RS carries its 4.0-litre flat six directly behind the cabin, loading the rear axle hard and leaving barely any clearance under a factory-lowered ride height. That geometry is superb on a billiard-smooth circuit and miserable the moment the surface turns to gravel, snow-packed tarmac or a rutted access road. XYZ Racing’s Pro Racing Gravel/Snow coilover is built around longer travel front and rear specifically to give this chassis room to move before it bottoms out.

Rather than chasing the lowest possible ride height, this spec widens the damper’s working range and increases the volume of suspension oil and nitrogen gas it carries, so the shock keeps doing its job through repeated hard compressions instead of fading as oil temperature climbs. It is the coilover to reach for when a GT4 RS is going to see kerbs, mid-corner bumps or a winter road rather than a resurfaced track day circuit alone.

What this coilover does for your 2022-2026 Porsche CAYMAN 718 (982) GT4 RS

With the mid-engine weight bias of the 982 chassis pushing hard into the rear dampers under load, the extended travel here stops the rear axle running out of stroke over broken surfaces, which keeps the car settled rather than skipping. The larger oil and nitrogen gas capacity resists the heat build-up that shortens damper life on sustained rough-road or stage-style running, so the ride quality you get on lap one is closer to what you still have an hour later. Three external adjustment knobs give you control over compression and rebound independently, useful for winding the damping back for a loose gravel surface and firming it up again for a circuit with real kerbs and elevation change. Overall the car keeps its composure over inputs that would upset a standard low-travel circuit coilover.

About the Pro Racing Gravel/Snow coilover

This coilover was originally developed for rally and rally cross use, where sustained travel and heat management matter more than absolute ride height. The extended front and rear travel builds in a bigger buffer before the suspension reaches full compression, which is what keeps a car stable when the road surface stops being flat. XYZ Racing increased the internal volume of both suspension oil and nitrogen gas over a standard circuit-spec build, which is the mechanism that stops shock oil temperature spiking and the damper fading out on long, repeated hits. The three-knob adjustment layout uses a small oil-passage design; driving over larger bumps can produce a faint noise through that passage, which is expected and not a fault. XYZ Racing also rates this build for circuit use, where the same bump-absorption qualities pay off over kerbs and mid-corner surface changes rather than smooth billiard-table tarmac.

Fitment for the Porsche CAYMAN 718 (982) GT4 RS (2022-2026)

Built specifically for the 982-chassis Cayman GT4 RS produced from 2022 to 2026. Confirm your car sits within that build range before ordering, as suspension geometry and mounting points are matched to this generation of 718 Cayman rather than the wider 982 range.
