XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Porsche CAYMAN (987) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2005-2012

The 987 Cayman’s mid-engine layout puts more mass over the rear axle than any 911, which is exactly why the chassis rotates so readily once you’re past the front tyres’ initial bite. Cars specified with PASM keep that balance in check electronically, but the factory control unit has nothing to talk to once you fit a manual coilover – which is why this kit ships with the wiring needed to cancel the electronic damping system rather than leave a PASM light nagging on the dash.

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built for exactly this scenario: a 987 owner who wants fast-road comfort most weekends and a track day a few times a season, without living with a compromise on either. Ride height and damping are both in your hands once the factory electronics are out of the loop.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2012 Porsche Cayman

With PASM cancelled, the 987’s damping response is no longer a compromise dictated by a control module trying to serve two masters. The 36-way adjustment lets you firm the rear up to match the chassis’ natural weight bias when you’re chasing rotation on a circuit, then back it off for the school run without any electronic override fighting your setting. Ride height adjustment means you can correct the slightly nose-up stance that stock B8-era Cayman springs often settle into, dropping the centre of gravity without dragging the front splitter on speed bumps. Because the damper is doing the work mechanically rather than through a solenoid, the response to mid-corner load transfer – the point where this chassis either tucks in cleanly or gets nervous – is more consistent from lap to lap.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s damper for owners who daily-drive a car they also want to properly enjoy on a circuit weekend. Its 36-way damping adjustment covers a wide enough range to move from a compliant fast-road setting to a firmer track setup without swapping hardware, and the independent ride height adjustment lets you set corner weights and stance separately from spring preload. It’s built to cope with the broken tarmac and expansion joints of UK B-roads as readily as it copes with kerb strikes on a track’s exit apron. For the 987 specifically, the kit is paired with the cancellation loom needed to remove PASM from the equation entirely, so the damper – not the factory ECU – has the final say over how the car rides.

Fitment for the Porsche Cayman (987) (2005-2012)

This kit fits the Cayman 987 chassis across its full production run, 2005 to 2012, and is specifically configured for cars originally fitted with PASM that require electronic damping cancellation to run a manual coilover. Confirm your car’s original equipment before ordering – non-PASM 987s use a different kit in the range.
