hi,
i believe the suspension -springs,dampeners and antiroll bars are different between the cayman and 987 boxster. non
PASM.
can someone tell me exactely what the differences are and are there differnces between S and non S models?
i am assuming the cayman stuff is uprated when compared to the boxster.
the reason that i am asking is, i am about to change my knocking rear shocks on my 2005 boxster S and intend to do the fronts while i am at it.
i have thought about bilstein sports shocks with standard springs etc as i dont want to lower the car too much as its a road car and uk roads are ****. not to mention being able to clear the speed bumps over here.
Is there anything to be gained by replacing my suspension (including springs and arb,s) with cayman S stuff or is the better option to use either boxster shocks or bilstein sports?
thanks
mark

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.

). Theres probably a small lug, or notch or something awkward that would stop you from doing this easily as well (Sods law!!).
