Motorsports and tuning specialists H&R are launching their latest novelties for the new Porsche Cayman, with various sporty suspension modifications such as spacers, lowering kits, sport sway bars and a height-adjustable coil-over suspension.

As one the world's leading manufacturers of suspension systems as well as one of the most important suppliers in international motorsports, H&R is the exclusive supplier for the DTM teams from Audi and Mercedes-Benz, as well as development partner and producer of suspension components for the Porsche racing division.

The know-how from decades of motorsports involvement also benefited the development of the H&R suspension components for the new mid-engined Cayman.

H&R offers various levels of suspension tuning for the sportscar from Zuffenhausen: The list starts with TÜV-tested and approved spacers for the production wheels. The spacers widen the track between 14 and 36 millimetres per axle. The result on the coupe: Improved handling characteristics and even more exciting looks.

H&R progressive-rate springs matched to the stock shock absorbers can lower the sportscar by about 35 millimetres.

For further optimized turn-in and for reduced body roll in high-speed turns H&R offers sport sway bars for the new Cayman. The sway bars are manufactured from high-strength spring steel.

For owners of the two-seater car looking for a sportier suspension, H&R offers a height-adjustable coil-over suspension. The suspension was fine-tuned in extensive driving tests of the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring. The H&R single-tube gas-pressure shocks front and back are somewhat stiffer than the production shocks but still offer, according to their maker, sufficient ride comfort for everyday driving.

Ride height can be adjusted to each customer's preferences and the predominant use of the vehicle: Ride height can be lowered with the H&R sport suspension between 30 and 60 millimetres in front and between 20 and 50 millimetres on the rear axle.

All H&R suspension components are developed and manufactured in accordance with the strict quality standards of the ISO 9001 norm. All carry the stamp of approval of the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV).

H&R also offers sport suspensions, lowering springs, sport sway bars and spacers for all other Porsche models.
