Think your Service To$$er at the Stealers is Talking BoŁŁocks........
I have just looked at the Suspension parts listings: US/UK/Germany and Main Coil Springs and Sway Bars are exactly the same part number (there are differences between Cayman and Cayman S)
Suspension Identical .............
However ours (UK) do handle better on the track, undoubtedly........
Most tracks are Clockwise, so predominantly RH Turns. We sit on the Right of the car to drive, so the weight (Substantial in my case) is on the inside of most bends, stabilising the car and keeping it flat on RH Bends............ Also we see the Apexes better on our right, without having to look across an expanse of Bonnet.
Hate to imagine what mischief I could do in a LH Drive Car...................
Lucky we are British.......! Perhaps that is why we have to pay 50% more for our Caymans.........?
