XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Porsche PANAMERA (971) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The 971 Panamera carries well over two tonnes across four doors, and Porsche’s factory PASM adaptive damping was calibrated around that mass for motorway comfort and body control, not for holding a corner at nine-tenths. Fit a fixed-rate coilover and the PASM electronics still expect a damper to talk to, which is why this kit ships with the cancellation module built in.

XYZ Racing’s Racing Spec coilover for the Panamera 971 removes that conflict outright, replacing the electronic damper logic with a mechanical, driver-set platform built for serious track and time-attack use. It is the spec for owners who have already worked out that a two-tonne GT car needs damping control it can trust lap after a full session, not just on the first flying lap.

What this coilover kit does for your 2016-2026 Porsche Panamera 971

Swap out PASM for a Racing Spec coilover and the Panamera’s weight transfer stops being guesswork. Height and damping are set mechanically, so the front axle loads predictably under trail braking into a hairpin instead of hunting between electronic damper maps. Ride height drops the centre of gravity across a chassis that was never short on grip, only on composure at the limit, and the fixed damping curve holds its character run after run rather than drifting as the electronics heat-soak. Because the cancellation kit removes the PASM dependency cleanly, there’s no dash warning light and no compromised default damper state fighting the new hardware underneath.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s motorsport-facing line, and the damping curves in this kit were pulled directly from circuit racing programmes including WTCC entries rather than developed on a rig for road comfort. That background shows in how the kit is specified for a heavy, four-door platform like the 971: the valving is built to cope with sustained lateral and longitudinal load rather than a single hard stop. For owners running genuinely aggressive builds, XYZ Racing also offers a bespoke shock-absorber service, custom valving built to your specific upgrades and the circuit you actually run, in the same way its factory-level and A-class racing customers get theirs specced. That’s a route worth discussing if your Panamera already carries serious supporting modification beyond the suspension.

Fitment for the Porsche Panamera 971 (2016-2026)

This kit is built specifically for the Porsche Panamera 971 across the 2016 to 2026 model years, in the cancellation-kit configuration for cars fitted with electronic (PASM) damping from the factory. The cancellation hardware is matched to this chassis code so the electronic damper system is disabled without triggering fault states, leaving the mechanical coilover as the sole damping control.
