The Öhlins Dedicated Track coilovers for the Porsche Boxster and Cayman (981/982) cover both generations of the platform in one kit, spanning 2013-2020 models including S variants. The setup is shake-rig developed and track validated from the factory, with Swift-manufactured springs, spherical upper mounts, and DFV technology all included.
STOCK STATUS: Special Order

If you have a specific deadline to receive this order please talk to us before placing your order to ensure that the manufacturer can meet your expectations.
The Öhlins Dedicated Track coilovers for the Porsche Boxster and Cayman (981/982) cover both generations of the mid-engine platform in a single kit, spanning 2013-2016 (981) and 2017-2020 (982) models, including S variants. Part number POU MU40S1, this system ships with the setup work already done. Spring rates, clicker settings, and ride height targets are all shake-rig developed and track validated by Öhlins engineers for the specific chassis, so the car is ready to drive hard the day the coilovers go on, not after several sessions of trial and error.
What the Dedicated Program Means in Practice
The word “dedicated” carries real weight here. Unlike a coilover kit built to a general specification and fitted to a vehicle list, each Öhlins Dedicated system is developed around the individual chassis it is designed for. Engineers use a shake rig to simulate track inputs, validate the setup on actual pavement, and lock in spring rates, clicker positions, and ride height before the product ships. For the Boxster and Cayman (981/982), that means a system tuned specifically for the weight distribution, geometry, and suspension pickup points of both the (981) and (982) platforms, with no translation from a donor application.
Dual Flow Valve Technology and Damper Construction
The POU MU40S1 uses Öhlins’ patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology throughout. The DFV allows engineers to tune force curves for chassis support while maintaining traction over pavement irregularities and on-track curb strikes, managing compression and rebound characteristics in a way that keeps the tires loaded and working across a wider range of surface conditions. The dampers are monotube in design, with inverted strut construction up front and aluminum shock bodies at all corners. Aluminum sheds heat faster than steel during sustained track use, and the inverted strut reduces unsprung weight while stiffening the front end against lateral flex under hard cornering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What years and models does the Öhlins POU MU40S1 fit? The Öhlins POU MU40S1 fits the 2013-2016 Porsche Boxster and Cayman (981), including S models, and the 2017-2020 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman (982), including S models. GT4 variants are excluded.
What is the difference between the Öhlins Dedicated Track and Road and Track systems for the Porsche 981 and 982? The Dedicated Track system is tuned specifically for track use, with application-specific spring rates, clicker settings, and ride height validated through shake-rig development and on-track testing. It ships ready to install and run without additional tuning. The Road and Track system is built for drivers who split time between street and track, with softer spring rates and a broader comfort range. The Dedicated system is the track-first choice; the Road and Track system is the dual-purpose option.
Does the Öhlins POU MU40S1 include upper mounts? Yes. Öhlins spherical bearing upper mounts are included with the POU MU40S1 kit for both the (981) and (982) fitments. The factory OEM upper mounts are not required.
What spring rates does the Öhlins POU MU40S1 use on the Porsche 981 and 982? The front spring rate is 110 N/mm and the rear spring rate is 130 N/mm. Both are manufactured by Swift to Öhlins’ specifications as part of the chassis-specific development process for the Boxster and Cayman platform.
Do I need an EDC cancellation kit with the Öhlins Dedicated Track coilovers? Only if the car has Porsche’s factory OE electronically controlled shocks. For (981) models, the EDC cancellation kit is part number 35020-13. For (982) models, the applicable part number is 35020-07. Both are sold separately and are only required on cars equipped with the optional factory active damper system.
How much does the Öhlins POU MU40S1 lower the Porsche Boxster or Cayman? The system targets approximately 20mm of ride height reduction from stock at the recommended setup. Ride height is independently adjustable at each corner, so the final stance can be fine-tuned from there.

Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate.

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.
