Just an FYI everyone.
We are warehouse distributors for H&R, Bilstein, and Moton. We buy direct with no middle man.
Here are some up to the minute suspension notes.
<u>Bilstein</u>
I spoke with Bistein NA this morning. Apparently the PSS9's are not in stock at this time. It sounds as though they will not be ready for a month or two. They may already be ready in Europe, but nothing for the North American market. Part # for non-
PASM cars will be F4-GM5-C189-HO. These will fit the Cayman/Boxster in both S and non-S configurations. The Bilsteinsport shocks have also yet to be released for the Cayman. No part # available yet either.
<u>H&R</u>
I'm sure most of you already know this, but I will give details for those that don't. The Cayman sport springs from H&R are currently available. We have these on the shelves and can ship asap. Part # is 54020. We retail them for $399.95. H&R's advertised drop is 1.4' front and 1.2 in the rear. There are pics floating around this board of how the car looks with the springs. Needless to say the car's appearance/ride heightis really impressive once it's been lowered. More info on the springs can be found here.

The Cayman swaybars are now available. They are in H&R's warehouse and can be shipped asap. Part #'s are as follows:
Front 70168-2 <24mm Non-adjustable> AWE retail $255.95
Rear 71168-2 <22mm adjustable> AWE retail $210.95
The H&R coilovers are not available yet. A part # or price has yet to be issued. If someone has different info, please let me know. I found this out by contactin H&R NA just moments ago.
I hope this info helps, and we hope to earn your business.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
