Great looking car! I have a 2009 White Cayman S coming in about 30 days or so. I expect to have the Sachs Performance Coilover kit installed shortly after it arrives!

How long have you had the suspension on your car? Is it the coilover kit or racing dampers? The coilover kit has the adjuster **** at the bottom and has 20 click-settings from soft to hard. I am interested in your feedback!

Many thanks - car looks awesome - I'm getting excited!

Looks AMAZING man. The Cayman needs to sit like this to truly look EXOTIC in my mind. A friend here in Philly has his about the same height as yours and its PERFECT.

I am hoping to lower mine in the coming weeks - gonna use H&R spings though - dont wanna scrape my new GT3 front end

ALso, how do you like the software/intake combo? Worth it?

First, that car looks great lowered with those Sachs! And I'm sure it does handle like it's on rails! How does the price compare to the competition?

pearlcoupeg35, I have an '09 CS and it has H&R springs and anti-sway bars; gotta tell you, I am having significant problems with clearance in drives, dips, etc. I have to be really careful to select which entries and exits I will try in and out of parking lots. Have 19" rims that JUST give me enough clearance to get into my (pretty steep decline) office parking garage, if and only if, I angle it the right way on the far right corner of the entry-way. That's how tough it is. And on my 18" track rims, forget it. Can't get into my parking garage. H&Rs are great for the aesthetics of lowering the car (does look awesome) but maybe there are other choices if tracking is a consideration (eg, Eibach or coilovers, etc). With a nice new GT3 front end, do be careful what you choose. You know, PSS9 and PSS10 (not sure if out yet for gen2 Cayman) as well as Moton, JIC/Cross will all take lift bags, I hear. I'd really like to push a button for 2" or so of lift on demand! How about the Sachs? Will they accommodate a lift bag system?

Sachs Performance Coilovers do not have the "lift" option. Best to choose the ride height that suits your needs for the roads in your area. The Sachs Performance Coilovers allow you to start at the stock ride height and adjust to go lower. The valving on the Sachs system gives a truely awesome, comfortable (better than stock) ride on the street and is extremely compitant on the track as was stated in the begining of this thread. pearlcoupeg35 states there was a vast improvement! I can tell you from experience that it is an incredible set up. We have it installed on the RS60 Boxster S, Boxster S Racecar, and a 2009 VW GLI.

There are 20 settings for rebound and compression adjustments from the soft setting to the firmest setting.

Would you like to try a set out? List price is $3,018.00. I sell them for $2,565.30.

PM me if you have specific questions!

Thanks!

Erik,

While Sachs does not come with the lift option, can it accommodate a lift bag kit, as PSS9 and PSS10 can?

Thanks.

Hey Scott - I have not tried to accomodate a lift bag to the sachs performance coilovers so I am not sure. Unless we tested it and confirmed the functionality I would not be comfortable recommending using it.

I suppose one could carry a couple of boards in the "frunk" for such circumstances LOL. kidding.
