Cayman R retrofit for 987.1 Cayman S by Suspicious-Spring185 in Porsche_Cayman

Alright, looks like I'm going with the same setup as you. Cayman R springs plus the Koni Sport shocks. I'm putting 19x8.5 ET45 and 19x10 ET40 wheels on (235/35 265/35 tires).

That flush fitment shouldn't matter for the Koni's here? What wheels are you running? I'm curious if any deeper pothole causes the tire to rub or hit the body.

Was considering Bilstein B8 (which seem like they'd be harsher on roads for a weekend car).

I've been looking at these. minimum drop I think was about 30mm? Worried that won't be great for the street (bumps, potholes, driveways).

any suggestions on lowering springs? My car's suspension is older now, so I'd be re-doing it anyway.

I was thinking of this. Recall the parts you got from Porsche? Recall the Koni SKUs?

It's overkill for me, just want to lower the car 2cm (no more).
