Which cars do the Track Coilovers for 981 / 982 Porsche Boxster fit?

Öhlins lists kit POU MU40S1 for the 981 Boxster and Cayman and the 982 generation 718 Boxster and Cayman, including the S and GTS versions of both. The GT4, Spyder and T models are not listed.

How is this different from the Öhlins Road and Track kit?

The Dedicated Track kit is tuned for circuit use, with Swift springs at 110 N/mm front and 130 N/mm rear, helper springs and Öhlins spherical upper mounts. The Road and Track kit uses the original Porsche top mounts and is built for street and track use.

Do I need the PASM cancellation kit?

Only on cars with factory PASM adaptive dampers. The Öhlins mounting instructions call for the cancellation kit on those cars, and Öhlins lists kit 35020-07 for the 981 and 718. Cars on passive dampers do not need it.

What damping setting should I start with?

The Öhlins mounting instructions give a track setting of 9 clicks at the front and 4 clicks at the rear. One knob on each damper adjusts compression and rebound together through the DFV valve.

How low does the car sit on the Öhlins kit?

On the standard settings in the Öhlins mounting instructions, the car sits about 20 mm lower than stock at both ends. Each turn of the height adjuster moves ride height by 1.5 mm.

Description

Öhlins DFV Dedicated Track Coilovers for 981 / 982 Porsche Boxster / Cayman

Öhlins’ DFV Dedicated Track Coilovers for 981 / 982 Porsche Boxster and Cayman models, kit POU MU40S1, are the track version of Öhlins’ suspension for the mid-engine Porsche. One kit covers the 981 Boxster and Cayman and the 982 generation 718 Boxster and Cayman, along with the S and GTS versions of both. Öhlins tunes it to be installed and taken to the circuit with minimal setup or testing, and on the standard settings the car sits about 20 mm lower than stock. A car that also sees regular street miles is better served by the Road & Track kit.

Design and Performance

The Dual Flow Valve lets one adjuster per damper change compression and rebound together, so a single knob moves the whole damping curve. The monotube dampers come with Öhlins spherical upper mounts at both ends in place of the factory Porsche mounts. Swift builds the main springs to Öhlins specifications at 110 N/mm front and 130 N/mm rear, and each corner also carries a helper spring.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
